The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County is the only organization solely dedicated to supporting arts and culture in Palm Beach County. In its sustaining effort to foster growth of the cultural sector, the Council provides support services to cultural organizations and creative professionals, administers public and private grant programs, advocates for cultural funding, enhances local arts education, and promotes cultural tourism.

The Cultural Council believes that arts and cultural education is a conduit for change and has the power to transform lives, and therefore is committed to the growth and enrichment of learners at all ages through quality and inclusive arts education—in ways that spark creativity and curiosity, build empathy, and foster collaboration.

The Council partners with local cultural organizations, the School District of Palm Beach County, and other organizations throughout our community. Through digital resources, lifelong learning initiatives, cultural education programs (such as Arts in My Backyard), professional development, and advocacy and research initiatives, the Cultural Council encourages and inspires learning at all ages.

If you have any questions regarding the Cultural Council’s education programs, please contact our manager of arts and cultural education, Ericka Squire: (561) 472-3347 or esquire@palmbeachculture.com.
