About Us
The Arts Council of Wilson (ACW) has a 50-year history as Wilson's local arts agency, starting on April 24th, 1967. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all citizens of Wilson County by providing cultural leadership and opportunities in the arts. Currently we fulfill that mission through participatory and passive programming in visual, literary, and performing arts disciplines.
