What is The ACGG?

On May 2, over 300 artists, arts organizations, and community members attended the first Arts Across Guilford Celebration. Seeing so many people unite to celebrate the arts and inspire each other was amazing. The room was buzzing with creativity, making it the perfect moment to share some special news.

The Arts Council of Greater Greensboro (formerly ArtsGreensboro) has worked for over a year to realign the organization with the arts sector. Based on feedback from the community and its leaders, The ACGG decided to rebuild its brand to support the organization’s current goals and future initiatives.

The ACGG cultivates an inclusive, sustainable, and vibrant community through the support, promotion, and expansion of the arts. We serve as the connector of individual creatives, arts organizations, government and policymakers, businesses, and the community to empower the arts through funding resources and economic growth. The ACGG drives community and economic development by expanding the arts and increasing the capacity and sustainability of creatives and arts organizations.
