Since 1972, the Lake Wales Arts Council has enriched Central Florida through exceptional visual and performing arts programs, exhibitions, and education initiatives. Located in the historic Lake Wales Arts Center—a beautifully restored 1927 Spanish-Mission–style church—the Council presents year-round concerts, art exhibitions, and youth education programs in music, ceramics, and visual arts. Our mission is to inspire creativity, strengthen community, and ensure access to the arts for all. Members enjoy dynamic cultural experiences that celebrate both local heritage and contemporary innovation within our vibrant arts community.
