Our Story

Our mission is to support, promote, and advocate for the arts and cultural enrichment in the county.

​

We envision Clatsop County as an arts mecca, where every community member's creativity has an outlet, public art lives in abundance, low-cost art is accessible across demographics, and the public is aware of the economic importance of art.

​

The council was originally established by Clatsop County as an advisory committee to the Board of Commissioners. In 2022, the council became a nonprofit entity, although its goals remained the same: to serve and promote the creative community of Clatsop County
