Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County recently reached an impressive milestone: 75 years as the nation’s first arts council.

Since 1949, the local org has provided funding and opportunities for artists, encouraging creativity and cultural expression throughout our community.

Now it’s time to celebrate and support.

We’re all invited

The Arts Council is throwing its 75th Anniversary Celebration on Wednesday, September 24 in the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts.

This evening event offers the chance to look back at the past while preparing for the future, with festivities that include:

Live performances from local and visiting artists
Live and silent auctions
A swanky reception with catered hors d’oeuvres + complimentary beverages

Tickets start at $125, with sponsorship opportunities available full of exclusive perks and access.

Four ways to contribute

The Arts Council has a $450,000 Fundraising Goal, but direct donations are just one of four impactful ways the community can support. Consider:

Showing your commitment to the arts with an Event Sponsorship
Contributing an item or experience to the two auctions
Sharing your story to inspire others to support the arts

Whether you give, attend, or share your story, this celebration is your chance to help write the next chapter of WS arts.
