About Pocono Arts Council

Founded in 1975, Pocono Arts Council serves as a resource for artists and arts organizations in all disciplines, as well as for residents and tourists of the region.

Continued growth, support, and diversification of the cultural community led Pocono Arts Council to move to professional status and appoint a full-time Executive Director in 1992. Today, the Council staff, along with a volunteer board and committee members, works diligently to promote the Council as the region’s leading art service, education, and advocacy organization.
