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 served by the ARAC, one member representing Duluth, and eight at-large members appointed to provide a balance in specific disciplines or art forms not currently represented on the Council. The Council also includes one student ad hoc position. 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.

The ARAC currently has an at-large position, and a college student opening, but you may apply for board membership at any time. Click here to download materials and for more information. Board terms are three years in duration (one year for the student ad hoc position) and expire at the end of June; board members may serve more than one term. Please consult the board application materials for details.
