The Carroll County Arts Council is a vibrant 501 (c) 3 organization founded in 1969.  Our mission is to enrich our community, both culturally and economically, by presenting, promoting and supporting a wide variety of arts opportunities for our residents, visitors, and artists.   

The Carroll County Arts Council is located in the magnificently renovated Carroll Arts Center, formerly the Carroll Theatre in downtown Westminster. The art deco building now houses a 263-seat theatre, the Tevis Gallery, Community Gallery, Director’s Hall Gallery, Gift Shop, two art classrooms and offices.  

The Arts Council receives major funding from The Maryland State Arts Council, Carroll County Department of Recreation & Parks and the City of Westminster as well as membership support from individuals and businesses in the community. 

The Arts Council hosts a wide variety of cultural programs including gallery exhibits, concerts, film, theatre productions, classes, camps, and bus trips. Special events such as the annual Festival of Wreaths, PEEPshow and the y'ART Sale are well attended and also sources of contributed income.

The CCAC is pleased to partner with the City of Westminster in seeking design proposals for a public art installation at the City's new Office Building location in downtown Westminster
