Everyone recognizes the value of Chambers of Commerce, Better Business Bureaus, or Economic Development Councils. The purpose is obvious. They promote business which creates jobs, encourages business support of the community, and open doors to encourage local business owners to work together. The Arts Council serves the same purpose. The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is your Chamber of Commerce for the arts.

Attracting creative individuals to our community who will attract other creative people which in turn will make our community vibrant and exciting.

The Arts Council is the official arts agency for Oxford and Lafayette County, with one full-time staff member, a twelve member Board of Directors, and volunteers working to transform the creative works of artists, performers, musicians, and writers into programs that create jobs, attract tourists, and enrich our community. How effective is the arts council? In 2009 the arts council working with local artists fostered over 315 days of art programs. These programs ranged from gallery exhibits, live music, performing arts, and special events including free dance lessons for all ages, free arts classes, and a writer’s series that featured nationally recognized authors.
