About us

Art, music, science and culture: it’s all better up here. Flagstaff is rich in the arts and sciences, and the Flagstaff Arts Council is at the center of it all. We get you connected to all the action: festivals, concerts, workshops, dazzling performances and more. Throughout Flagstaff we serve the larger arts and sciences community with grant funding, promotional support, advocacy and community-wide initiatives and programming.

Mission Statement

The Flagstaff Arts Council promotes, strengthens and advocates for the arts in our community.

We carry out our mission through two main pillars of operation:

1. Management of the Coconino Center for the Arts, where we produce art exhibitions, concerts, and more.
2. Service to the larger arts and sciences community with grant funding, promotional support, advocacy and community-wide initiatives and programming.

The Flagstaff Arts Council takes the lead in the arts and sciences sector in Flagstaff. As an independent 501c3 non-profit organization, the Arts Council has a Board of Directors that represents the larger community and is in touch with the arts and sciences sector.

The Board of Directors provides oversight for policy, finance and long-term development of the organization, and works directly with the Executive Director. The Executive Director is responsible for day-to-day operation of the Council, and works collaboratively with a Management Team to lead the organization and provide service to the community.
