Join The Arts Council
Membership Application

The Arts Council, Inc. (TAC) represents and serves over 80 organizations and individuals in the greater Huntsville/Madison County area.  As a member of TAC, artists, cultural organizations, and interested supporters have the opportunity to impact the community's awareness and support of the arts and culture in our everyday lives.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP

Opportunity to influence the policy and programs of TAC through their elected representatives.  Each member organization may appoint a delegate to TAC Assembly, which in turn elects three members of TAC's board of directors on a three-year rotation (1 elected per year).  The current delegates are:

Susan Stricklin
Jodi Weiner
Leslie Bofill

Meet for informal discussions of arts community issues at monthly Assembly (TAC members) meetings.  THUGs (Theater Users Group) and CHUGs (Concert Hall Users Group) meet as needed to coordinate VBC scheduling or address issues related to using the VBC Playhouse or Concert Hall.  Typically, assembly meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month (except August and December) at 5:30 p.m. at The Arts Council Meeting Room.  However, other venues are occasionally announced, including visits to the "homes" of member organizations!

Promote upcoming programs and events through a variety of activities.  For more information visit Promotional+Opportunities.aspx?Page=50f8f180-0e4e-4869-b569-04fe573e6ced">Promotional Opportunities
