About Us

The Tonganoxie Arts Council consists of people from all walks of life who share one common interest; to see the arts and culture have a positive impact on the Tonganoxie Community.

We believe that:

The arts improve our lives.
The arts articulate, preserve, and perpetuate our shared history and culture.
The arts should reflect a diverse community.
Every citizen should have the opportunity to engage in arts experiences.
A community that invests in the arts benefits from the arts economically, culturally and socially.
All artist and arts forms, both emerging and existing, deserve respect and encouragement.
Collaborative, trusting, and respectful relationships with community leaders, artists and the public are essential.
Arts information needs to be comprehensive and accessible.
A cohesive arts community thrives best with the leadership of a dedicated arts council.
