About Us

The Community Arts Council is composed of a group of volunteer citizens interested in all forms of the arts. The Arts Council was formed in 1995. The Council's mission is to bring the arts in varied forms - music, dance, theatre, and literature - to the doorstep of all Buchanan County citizens.

The Council's goals for programming are twofold: to include events that make the arts more accessible for children and to broaden the scope of artistic exposure in our community at large. Many of the programs offered by the Council fit both purposes and are suitable for adults and children alike.

Council members meet monthly, or as needed, to oversee the planning necessary for a successful arts program. The Council receives funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Grundy Town Council, and the Buchanan Board of Supervisors, in addition to generous contributions from local corporate and individual citizens.

Lucy Williams Bowman serves as chairman of the group. Additional council members include Chuck Crabtree, Lu Ellsworth, Sherry Fletcher, Sandy Johnson, Rachel Maderik, Susan Mayhew, Debbie Raines, Allison Street, and Michelle Justus Talbott.
