Our History

1986
The first events hosted by the Alliance Arts Council were a concert by The Ravnan Two and an artist-in-residence by the Gulizia Brothers. 1986 marked the first year that season tickets were sold; there were 63 members/season ticket holders. Adult price was $25 and student/senior was $20.
1991
Cindy Randall was named the AAC Executive Director in 1991.
2001
The AAC established the endowment in 2001 and continues
to add to this fund to preserve our future.
Today
Each year the Alliance Arts Council presents a Fall to Spring season which includes four performing arts events, a week long in-school residency targeting 4th graders and a month long visual art exhibit.
The AAC currently averages 100-150 season tickets/members each year.
