   Welcome to the Arts & Industry Council  

The Arts & Industry Council (AIC), formerly the United Arts Council of Calhoun County, is Michigan's oldest incorporated non-profit arts council. The AIC provides marketing and technical services, professional development programs, and grants to more than 60 arts and cultural organizations and hundreds of Michigan artists. The AIC Events Calendar is the region's only one-stop source of information for arts/culture activity!

As Calhoun County's arts advocate, the AIC's mission is to improve quality of life through the arts by focusing on four strategic areas of action: 1) growing the arts and creative industries, 2) marketing the arts, 3) advocating for the arts, and 4) facilitating networks.

The AIC's new strategic plan places discernable emphasis on creative industries and cultural economic development. All of the new AIC programs and services outlined on this site have been requested by community stakeholders. We hope you'll find these tools useful and will come back to visit us often!
