The Bridges Arts Council was founded in 1998 out of the 2nd Crossing Art Gallery in Valley City. It is to be a clearing house of information about area art related groups and artists as well as a forum to cooperate and collaborate for the mutual benefit of the arts (and humanities) in our region. We are slated to meet the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:30PM at "The Vault" coffee shop, though meetings tend to bounce as it is hard to get everyone together sometimes.
