About the Council

The Meriden Arts Council seeks to promote interest in all forms of artistic and cultural expression for all Meriden residents. We believe the arts are essential to a vibrant and thriving community – a necessary part of Meriden’s present and future success.

The Meriden Arts Council is for people of all ages who wish to support and participate in arts and cultural events and activities in our community.

The Council works in two ways – by organizing cultural events and by supporting arts and cultural groups in the city.

Meriden artists and arts groups cover a wide spectrum, including theatre, dance, music and visual and literary arts.

We invite you to explore, enjoy and support Meriden artists, organizations and events.
