- Arts Council for Chautauqua County Chautauqua County
- Recognizing that a community which encourages, supports and fosters the arts empowers its citizens to think, work and live creatively, the Arts Council for Chautauqua County works to provide an environment in which the arts thrive. In support of its mission, the council's first goal is to facilitate the integration of art in the community and promote art/artists and arts organizations with four foci: support for art/artists/art community; integration of arts as education; improvement and preservation of the physical environment; connection to economic and community development. The second goal of the organization is to continue to explore and model what it means to be a cultural institution in a changing environment that has a preference for cooperation rather than competition, and "servant leadership," as the ambition for its role.
