40th Anniversary of The Annapolis Region Community Arts Council
“The arts are at the centre of life in this community and that, I think, is due to what the Annapolis Region Community Arts Council has done since 1982.”
-Ted Lind, current board member
Key figures from ARCAC’s founding through to present day share memories of how, together, they have witnessed the inception, triumphs and challenges of creating a cultural community. The gathering of artistic energies mirror the simultaneous revival of the town.
“You know, our motto was: When it stops being fun, we’re not going to do it any more. And that worked!”
-Susan Tileston, executive director 1987-2000
