Arts Council of Southeast Missouri

The Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, established in 1961 by local artist Otto F. Dingeldein, serves as a vibrant hub for the exploration and celebration of various art forms in the Southeast Missouri region. Dedicated to fostering a sustainable artistic community, the council offers a diverse range of programs and events, providing opportunities for residents and artists to engage with the visual, literary, performing, culinary, and healing arts.

With a strong focus on community engagement, the Arts Council endeavors to educate the public about the arts through a myriad of initiatives. From hosting monthly programs such as First Friday with the Arts to collaborating with local schools and organizations to provide arts education programs for underserved populations, the council actively promotes artistic enrichment and inclusivity. Through strategic partnerships with artists and arts organizations, they strive to cultivate innovative programming that resonates with the needs of the community.

Exciting developments are on the horizon for the Council, as they prepare to establish their new home at the Scout Hall building on Broadway. This new space signifies not just a physical location, but a vibrant creative nucleus for the entire community to partake in artistic endeavors, fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and wonder. With a dedicated team and a rich history, the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri continues to be a catalyst for artistic expression and cultural enrichment in the region.
