What is the United Arts Council?

We are designated by the State of Florida as the official Local Arts Agency for Collier County.

We provide arts education to at-risk students and outreach services
to those who might not otherwise have access ot the arts.

We connect arts organizations, artists galleries and arts educators
with one another, with local audiences and with tourism-related businesses.

We provide arts information to the public, and publish a
comprehensive cultural calendar, printed and online at www.uaccollier.com.

We provide services to arts organizations, galleries and artists.

We advocate for more arts education in our schools,
more funding for the arts, and more art in public places.
