In 1979, the Fulton County County Board of Commissioners created the Fulton County Arts Council to enhance the quality of life of its constituents. As the mechanism through which the County funds cultural programs and services offered by nonprofit arts organizations, the Fulton County Arts Council (FCAC) is both partner and catalyst in developing new arts opportunities in Fulton County.

The FCAC also supports programs which ensure broad access to the arts in the county's ten municipalities and unincorporated areas, and in schools, senior centers, summer camps and neighborhood locations.

The 15-member Council, appointed by the Board of Commissioners, advises the Board on arts and cultural related policy; each commissioner appoints two members for two-year rotating terms. A staff of approximately 20 oversees the administrative responsibilities of the local arts agency and its seven programs Art-at-Work youth job training, Community Cultural Planning, Contracts For Services, the Neighborhood Program, a Public Art Program, the School Arts Program, and Arts Camps.

In addition, five FCAC-operated art centers provide citizens from North to South Fulton with the opportunity to take classes and workshops in a variety of art forms. These centers include: Abernathy Art Center (Sandy Springs), South Fulton Art Center (College Park), West End Performing Art Center (near Atlanta University Center), Warsaw/Ocee Community Art Center (North Fulton), and Southwest Fulton Arts Center (off Cascade Road).
