About the North Kingstown Arts Council
In 1983, the North Kingstown Town Council created the Arts Council for the purpose of sponsoring and supporting arts and culture programs in our community. Today, the Arts Council is a strong, highly visible organization that holds a prominent place in the life of North Kingstown.
The Arts Council is comprised of 13 volunteer members who are appointed to two year terms by the North Kingstown Town Council. The Arts Council meets on the second Wednesday of every month. The meetings are held at 7:00 pm in the Beechwood Center. The meeting dates, agenda, and minutes are available on the North Kingstown town website.
The North Kingstown Arts Council works year-round to develop and support arts programs to bring both fine and performing arts to our community, reaching all age groups in a variety of venues.
We invite you to explore this website to learn more about the Arts Council, see how our activities serve to enhance the quality of life in North Kingstown, and find out about upcoming events and programs you can take part in.

One meeting per month, the second Wednesday, is a basic requirement. In addition, each member selects an area of special interest – project management, publicity, supporting existing events, even designing and managing a new event. Please note that you do not need to have an art background to serve on the Arts Council. We are looking for community-minded individuals who have an interest in sharing their time, talent, energy and imagination.
