Arts & Libraries Priority Area

Arts and Library facilities have a positive economic, social, and quality of life impact on a community. Fulton County is committed to ensuring that residents have access to a variety of quality, cultural, and educational activities. The County currently provides programs and events throughout county libraries and facilities. As a result, these programs and events indirectly stimulate arts and culture ecosystem by funding non-profit organizations across the County.
