Algonquin Arts Council

The Algonquin Arts Council, a "not for profit" organization, was formed in 1978 by a group of Bancroft and area residents to facilitate and encourage the development of cultural activities in the twelve northern townships of Hastings County and its surrounding areas. Its goal was to stimulate community involvement in the Arts by promoting theatrical productions, visual arts, and crafts exhibitions and displays for local and regional presentation to the public. The organization was incorporated on January 27, 1993.

The Algonquin Arts Council (A.A.C.) is made up of interested volunteers who promote and encourage artistic endeavors by its four programming committees (see below). The A.A.C. encourages membership in the organization, organizes fundraising projects and manages all moneys received, including those from government grants. A quarterly newsletter is circulated to all its members and to other interested organizations.
