vibrant place to live, work, learn, and play. They strive to deepen and enrich our culture and help bond communities from all walks of life through art. Arts councils work hard to stay funded, represent local culture, and advocate the importance of the arts for all ages.
Art, music, and culture genuinely matter and should be encouraged through all forms of artistic expression. We encourage you to join the Arts Council of Kern, and with your participation, we can keep our art community alive and thriving.

How Does Art
No question about it; the value of art is immeasurable across many lines. Art promotes freedom of creative expression and helps people to relax and think differently. One doesn’t have to be talented to create. Anyone can create art; in their way, different art forms help foster confidence and build self-esteem.
