ARAC Board

The ARAC's primary function is to serve as a panel for funding applications and to facilitate arts development in the Arrowhead Region. The ARAC recruits board members through an open nominations process. Sitting ARAC members elect a board of sixteen individuals: one member who resides in each of the seven counties and Duluth served by the ARAC and eight at-large members appointed to provide a balance in specific disciplines or art forms not currently represented on the Council. The ARAC members are chosen for their knowledge, expertise and involvement in the arts. For more information on how you can become a member of the ARAC Board, email info@aracouncil.org

We currently have two board vacancies, both at-large; we are also seeking applicants for the student ad hoc position.
