The mission of the Cultural Council of Cortland County is to encourage,
promote and sustain arts and culture in Cortland County in order to enhance
and enrich the quality of life. This purpose is accomplished by assuring the
availability of a variety of cultural experiences, opportunities and services
throughout Cortland County.
History
The Cultural Council of Cortland County was formally organized in 2000 by a
group of county residents who saw the need for a countywide arts service
organization. Individuals in the group had been active in the former Cortland
Arts Council and knew how much that organization contributed to the cultural life
of Cortland County throughout its duration. They felt the lack of such an
organization over the past decade was detrimental to the cultural development
of the county. Thus, encouraged by the New York State Council on the Arts to
create a new organization, they formed the Cultural Council of Cortland
County(CCCC) in order to provide services to Cortland County's arts and
cultural community and to its residents and visitors. These services are made
possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts,
a state agency, and with funding from the Cortland Savings Foundation, the
County of Cortland, and individual donors.
