You don't have to be an artist to enjoy art anymore than you have to be a musician to enjoy music!As stated in our Mission Statement, our goal is to create an environment where the arts flourish in our area...and beyond. To do that we need all interested persons, businesses,and organizations to join us!We are young, and our goal is a long-term one. But with steady prodding we are determined to bring to our area more art, more music, more art education, and the result will be more of a BALANCE within our communities of what feeds the human spirit!We love our sports, it's true... but music, theatre, dance, arts and crafts also fill a need we have as humans. The need to be expressive. Right now, we need you!Please consider becoming a member of the NWAAC and together we can make room for the arts in Northwest Alabama!

Mission Statement of the NWAAC, Inc.: (PDF online | Zip file)

1. Mission Statement: Our mission is to create an environment where the arts flourish. It is our goal to do this through:
Advocacy: We partner with local, state and federal educational and governmental bodies for arts-related funding and events Promotion: We promote the rich, artistic uniqueness of Northwest Alabama to local, regional, state and national audiences Coordination: We coordinate artists, arts groups and the community to work together Education: We encourage the arts-related education of students, audiences and arts professionals Access: We encourage all audiences and all artists who wish to participate in the arts in any way, at any level.
Our Goals: -- To strengthen the arts as one of Northwest Alabama’s key industries and civic resources -- To engage all of Northwest Alabama in the arts -- To make Northwest Alabama a preeminent arts destination

2. Purpose: The Northwest Alabama Arts Council, established in 2004, is a regional non-profit organization committed to the promotion and support of the arts and in the northwest Alabama area. This arts council and the JBAF will function as a whole entity and be governed only by those who are vested in the advancement of Art and Art Education for the NW Alabama area.The primary focus of the Northwest Alabama Arts Council is the JBAF and its continued growth and success. The JBAF hosted a very successful second season with grants from the Alabama Council of the Arts, in Montgomery. After the close of the 2004 season the JBAF Chair and Committee established that there was a need for the festival to be housed under a non-political entity that is encompassed of many communities, rather than just one.

3. Main Festival: JBAF | first weekend in March each year.

4. Council meetings:
The NWAAC's scheduled meetings will be announced via email to all members. If you'd like to be on our mail-list let us know -- email and ask:

The NWAAC is funded, in part, by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
