Flagstaff Arts Council is now Creative Flagstaff. Announced at the 13th Annual Viola Awards in June 2021, our new name reflects boundless creativity and an interdisciplinary spirit. It also describes a movement by which we strengthen our community by investing in our creative economy.

Our mission is to foster creative opportunity.

A lot is embodied in those simple words. Creativity as a concept broadens our perspective to value all forms of creative process and discovery, not just the formal arts.

Opportunity represents a commitment to enriching lives and building community through the creativity of others and supporting professional and personal creative practice.
