The Lackawanna County Arts & Culture Department was created in 2005 to support the arts and culture in our community and to provide access to the arts for all residents. The department offers grants, free programming, workshops, and training for artists and arts organizations. The work of the department is supported through an arts, education, and culture tax, which generates approximately $1.3 million annually.
