The Houma Regional Arts Council was founded in 1984, and its mission is to promote and provide arts and cultural events through a partnership of public and private funding based on the needs of individual communities. The Arts Council serves Assumption, Lafourche, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist and Terrebonne Parishes and distributes over $250,000 annually to nonprofit organizations in the region to support arts and cultural endeavors for public benefit. Programs of the Houma Regional Arts Council are supported in part by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council. Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Please visit www.houmaterrebonne.org for more information.
