History of 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 the Performing Arts, Visual Arts, and the Literary 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 funding talented students participating in local arts experiences when financial resources are limited. 


Established in 1985.  A 501(c)(3) corporation.
