Lane Arts Council

Lane Arts Council cultivates belonging, learning and investment to engage all of Lane County in the transformative power of the arts.

We carry out our mission in the following ways:

Arts Education- Serves as a leader in arts education to ensure students throughout Lane County have access to high-quality arts learning. Programs include in-school Artist Residencies, Creative Link Arts Integration, Design Arts Apprenticeships, and Performance Assemblies.

Arts Experiences- Connects communities and visitors with accessible arts experiences that cultivate belonging, build community, and engage diverse artists across disciplines. Lane Arts Council’s First Friday ArtWalk and ArtTalks highlight the diverse cultural vibrancy of the Eugene/Springfield area.

Artist Support- Empowers artists, performers, and cultural producers through professional development, resources, project support, and opportunities for artists to share their work.

Arts Sector Advancement- Contributes to local arts advocacy and collaborative arts sector advancement (recent work has included DEIA+ roundtables, participating in advocacy and arts sector networks, supporting development of a potential cultural district, creative placemaking, etc.)
