Boone County Arts Council | est.1987
The Boone County Arts Council was established in 1987 by the Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce and functions as an all-volunteer 501-c3 organization. The BCAC office is inside the Historic Baltic Mill at 920 W. Lincoln Avenue, Belvidere.
The mission of the Boone County Arts Council is to enhance the quality of life for people throughout Boone County by promoting the endowment, development, and enjoyment of the Arts.
The BCAC has developed and sponsored many programs designed to enrich the life of Boone County residents including the Summer Concerts in the Park, the county-wide Student Art Show, the Fifth Grade Arts Festival, Paint on State, and the Downtown Mural Project. The BCAC has also published a booklet on the public art in Boone County as well as a pamphlet on the murals. We work in close partnership with numerous organizations in our community.
