Bridges Arts Council

Valley City, North Dakota

------

The Bridges Arts Council firmly believes that local, community art is an essential part of life in Valley City and Barnes County, something worth advocating for at every opportunity. Art has the power to spark change, unite generations, and turn everyday places into something extraordinary. We’re here to champion that power, to make sure art remains a vital, visible, and celebrated part of our region’s identity for generations to come.


We invite you to look through our website for local artist information and more!  If you have any questions looking through our site, please contact us.

The mission of the Bridges Arts Council is to provide advocacy for the arts and cultural organizations in Valley City, the Sheyenne Valley, and neighboring communities. To support this mission, the BAC actively pursues funding through grants from the North Dakota Council on the Arts and combines those dollars with community membership support. Together, these resources help us fund artistic events and expand opportunities for community engagement in the arts.
