The James River Council on the Arts and Humanities is more than just a council. We are a group of business leaders, artists, performers, writers, educators and, above all, visionaries.

The James River Council on the Arts and Humanities exists for three main goals:

• To reflect the cultural and creative landscape of Lynchburg and the surrounding area
• To connect communities
• To encourage development and support of the arts and humanities
