ARTS QUINCY, AMERICA'S FIRST ARTS COUNCIL, Works to Foster, Strengthen and Expand the Arts.​

We work to sustain Quincy's renowned cultural vitality and enrich our community through the arts. We're working to influence academic achievement, drive economic prosperity, and improve the overall health and well-being of ourselves and our neighbors. Our national-award winning programs are made possible because of the support we receive from our generous donors.

Each year, Arts Quincy: 

• Brings arts activities to local schools for 7,500+ students through Instant Arts Classroom Funds
• Increases access to public art, culture and entertainment through Arts Dollars Matching Grants
• Promotes 55 area nonprofit arts and culture organizations through our semi-monthly Arts Blast email, weekly Arts Beat Media Segments, the bi-monthly Arts Quincy Magazine, Social Media posts, and more than 12,000 Public Service Announcements
