Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge

The Arts Council provides professional development for creative professionals & educators, performances series, in-school artist residencies, and re-granting of private, municipal, & state funds for artists & arts organizations. Our organization impacts more than 200,000 people annually through free public art events & series, including the Ebb & Flow festival and Sunday in the Park. These events spur economic activity in the regions they serve through cultural tourism and dollars spent on local businesses. Through performing arts, education, community engagement programming, and administrative positions, Arts Council employs or contracts with more than 250 artists each year from the state of Louisiana.
