| Programs Offered by Anson County Arts Council |
ACAC Programs
Art is a universal
language and the arts are for everyone. The Arts Council brings a wide
variety of artists and art forms to Anson County, striving to enrich the
cultural life of our community.
The Arts Council provides
programs that include theater, music, dance, visual arts, creative
writing, poetry, art exhibits, special events and festivals.
Opportunities are offered to everyone in our county. Children are a
priority with special emphasis placed on in-school programming, enabling
us to reach all students.
The Anson County Arts
Council's partnership with the Anson County Schools and South Piedmont
Community College enables us to provide programs, residencies and summer
activities.

Grassroots
The North Carolina Grassroots Program has enabled us to establish several arts organizations, including the Anson County Writers' Club, Anson Memory Makers Quilters' Guild and the Burnsville Learning Center. Through the years, the council has funded many organizations and groups that promote art in the community for the good of all its citizens.
Other
The Arts Council administers cultural and educational programs for the Anson County School System that include workshops, residencies and performances in theater arts, music, dance, visual arts, creative writing and poetry. Our most recent program included "The Life of Frederick Douglass" a play provided by the Bright Star Touring Theatre for the Anson County High School Freshman and the 7th and 8th Grades at Anson Middle School.
Some of our other programs include art in the schools, workshops, general performances, art exhibits for youth and adults, and other special events.
All of these programs involve our entire county. Other community groups with which we partner are Uptown Wadesboro, Inc. and the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge.
