Arts & Culture Commission

The Adams County Arts & Culture Commission (ACE) is a volunteer commission appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. ACE acts as an advisory board to the county’s Cultural Arts division and Percentage for the Arts Program, and is a Tier III SCFD organization. The mission of ACE is to expand the opportunities for Adams County residents to experience art in public places, and cultural, historical, and scientific activities.

The Arts & Culture Commission meets quarterly and members are given opportunities throughout the year to serve on project-specific Artist Selection Panels.

Public questions must be submitted in advance of the meeting to Amy Smith.
