We are a non-profit arts council that promotes the development of art education in Union County, NC through a mentoring program to local children through the creation of the Waxhaw Junior Arts League. We assist in the continuing art education of the children who join this group by mentoring them in marketing and showing their work in an annual art show. The fostering of artistic business in future artists is the goal of the Waxhaw Arts Council.

The mission of the Waxhaw Arts Council is to encourage artistic passion and talents by being both a window and voice for the arts in Waxhaw, by enhancing and promoting the viability of our community’s art talents through strong support and encouragement of the arts, igniting artistic passion in all types and levels of artists, strengthening and expanding art organizations in our community, enabling area artists to display their craft and skills locally, to bring enthusiasm to our town for artistic enjoyment, to increase arts education opportunities and to serve as a conduit for introducing art into our area from other regions.

We would love to have you join our organization, whether you are an artist, or just appreciate the arts.  Our meetings are held the first Tuesday night of every month at 6:30pm. 

Check us out on Facebook for questions, information and contacts. We will begin holding our meetings at the Carolina Medical Center on Providence Road this summer. Please also join us on Twitter at @WaxhawArts. The membership is $25 to join.
