POB 694 - Hamilton, AL 35570

The Northwest Alabama Arts Council (NWAAC) is a voluntary organization formed to create an environment where the arts flourish. Our goal is to offer support for school art classes, area performing arts, and art camps, and the promotion and exploration of art and artists within our area. The primary activity of the Council will be the annual JBAF, which helps educate the public on local artists’ work and provide those artists a venue to showcase and sell their work. This festival will significantly enhance the region’s image as it grows. It is the only festival of its kind in the four county region we serve.

The NWAAC is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit.
