Welcome to Cecil County Arts Council

The Cecil County Arts Council acts as a clearinghouse for information on the arts in Cecil County. Now in its 31st year, the Arts Council is a non-profit organization, dedicated to “presenting, promoting and sustaining the arts in Cecil County”.

Supported, in part, by funding provided from the state and county, as well as sponsorships and individual contributions, the Arts Council is also a membership organization. Arts Council members include:

  • Artists
  • Educators
  • Students
  • Families

At various venues throughout Cecil County, the Arts Council provides opportunities for the residents of our community to experience art events.

  • Free concerts
  • Exhibitions at multiple locations
  • Workshops
  • Classes

The Arts Council also provides grant and scholarship opportunities to community residents, organizations and schools. Each year, the Arts Council offers over $40,000 in sub-grants and scholarships to applicants.

Open Studio Tour 2008

The Cecil County Arts Council (CCAC) announces its 2008 Artists’ Open Studio Tour to be held on May 10th and sponsored by Bay First Bank.  This self-guided, countywide driving tour offers the public a free opportunity to visit artists throughout Cecil County at work in their own studios. 

With stops at 19 studios and displays by nearly thirty artists, this is the Arts Council’s way of offering the community an otherwise unavailable chance at seeing an artist at work in their own inspirational work space.  The Open Studio Tour affords the artist the ability to showcase their craft and skill, and instills in its patrons a better understanding and appreciation for the work and labor a work of art requires.
