## About

A not-for-profit arts council founded in 1999, serving Northwest Ohio with classes, exhibits and performances at its arts center in Archbold.

Founded in 1999, the Black Swamp Arts Council is a not-for-profit arts organization serving Northwest Ohio and the surrounding tri-state region. It promotes and expands access to the visual, performing and literary arts through affordable classes, exhibits, performances, events and arts camps for all ages and abilities.
