The Longmont Council for the Arts is the core resource for area arts organizations and artists who need financial, administrative or promotional support.

The LCA’s purpose is to connect artists and arts organizations; identify and provide unmet needs, like affordable publicity opportunities; strengthen arts education; and cultivate emerging cultural arts organizations to expand cultural arts opportunities for our community.

All of our financial support comes from board members, the LCA membership, grants, individual donations and business underwriting. Without this, we would not be able to help develop the performing, visual and literary arts in our community.
