All Arts Council Links to the World
We present artists and performers, nurture local talent, develop creative activities in our County, foster interest in the cultural heritage of the community, promote art in education, and attune our
business and civic leaders to our cultural needs and capabilities.
This page fulfills part of that mission. It contains links to Franklin County activities, provides links to professional resources in the "real" world, and links to sites maintained by AAC members. Feel free to grab the links you need
from this site and add them to your own bookmarks (or save this entire page to a local directory). Check back periodically for new resources and for updates on the golden oldies. Please note that these sites are not part of the All
Arts Council on the Web and the AAC has no control over their content or availability. When you have finished visiting any of these sites, you can return to this page by clicking on your Web browser's "Back" button or icon until
this page reappears.
We check and add stuff to this page regularly but make
no guarantees that the URLs stay accurate. If you know a great site, want to
be included, or find an error within (..shudder..), please drop us
a note. Now, please scroll down to find things interesting.
