Hays Arts Council

Mission Statement:

“Art improves the quality of life.  The Hays Arts Council promotes the visual, performing and literary arts for the people of our region.  We support creative expression, foster arts education, and bring cultural experiences to the community.”

The role of the Hays Arts Council has changed dramatically since its inception--from simply a supporter of cultural events planned and sponsored by other community organizations to an active sponsor of annual events enriching the cultural atmosphere.

Fostering and encouraging the arts has made the community a better place to live and continues to play an important role in the future growth and development of Hays and Ellis County.  After almost 40 years, HAC continues to accept with pride the inherent responsibility to provide “the arts for all.”
