What is the Arts Council?

The Arts Council of Torrance was created in 1985 when a need was recognized for an independent group of citizens to advocate for and promote the arts in the Torrance community.

ACT became a non-profit corporation in 1997 in order to fund the Arts Recognition Awards program for high school seniors.  The Arts Council has the distinction of honoring students for their achievements in eleven categories:  Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Dance, Rama, Literary Arts, Video Art, Photography, Ceramics/Sculpture and Visual Arts.

We continue to advocate for the continuation of arts curriculum in our schools and in city program offerings. 

ACT also has an active grants program to assist in the funding talented students to participate in local arts experiences when financial resources are needed.

The volunteer Board of Directors, which include elected officers and chairmen, meets the 4th Thursday of each month.

Luncheon Meetings, scheduled three times a year, feature outstanding local speakers, artists and /or performing groups.
