The Alabaster Arts Council was officially incorporated as a non-profit 501c3 organization in 2007, but the heart of the organization has been in existence since the first Alabaster CityFest in 2003. The organizers of that event went on to found the Arts Council to be able to improve upon the success of CityFest and to take a more active role in the enrichment of art and arts education in the Alabaster Community.

The Alabaster Arts Council supports local schools and provides grant awards to music, art and drama programs. The Arts Council also supports the local South City Theatre, also located in Alabaster. The Arts Council is a major supporter of the EMPOWER program, a therapeutic recreation and arts program in Alabaster. Click here for our grant program application form.
