Why Arts Matter Now More Than Ever​

Art is more than just strokes on a canvas or notes in a melody; it is a reflection of our humanity, capturing the essence of our emotions, beliefs, and aspirations. It challenges perceptions, provokes thought, and offers solace in an often chaotic world. Through art, we find a universal language, one that transcends boundaries and fosters understanding. It celebrates our shared experiences while honoring individual perspectives. In a world brimming with complexities, art remains a constant reminder of the beauty, resilience, and potential within us all.
​

Who We Are

Gaylord Area Council for the Arts mission is “to nurture and promote a creative community by facilitating, sharing and encouraging individual expression through the art.  For nearly 50 years we have been able to add new exhibits that support local artists, and programs and activities that meet the interest of our community.  This in turn has supported the economic development of our community by helping to attract residents and tourists, while encouraging new businesses to locate here.  

​We also recognize that only through support and donations from members, businesses, and individuals like you, will we be able to rise to the challenge to foster creative solutions within our community. Our continued existence depends on you.

"Science will...produce the data...but never the full meaning. For perceiving real significance, we shall need...most of all the brains of poets (and) also those of artists, musicians, philosophers, historians, writers in general." 

- Lewis Thomas, Scientist
