About Creative Flagstaff
Creative Flagstaff, incorporated as Flagstaff Arts Council, has been Flagstaff’s art, science, and cultural agency since 2002. It is most known for the Art & Science Fund grant program, which granted $447,000 in 2020, the Viola Awards, operation of Coconino Center for the Arts, and ArtWalk FLG.
Flagstaff Arts Council was formed as a partnership between City of Flagstaff, Coconino County, Northern Arizona University, Coconino Community College, Flagstaff Unified School District, and Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce. Additional partners now include Flagstaff Downtown Business Alliance and others.
Coconino Center for the Arts is a 10,000 s.f. county-owned facility constructed in the early 1980s on the same plot of land as the since demolished Art Barn which served as an arts education facility since the 1960s. FAC has operated CCA ever since the original nonprofit announced its intent to close the facility in 1997. CCA features a 4,000 s.f. gallery space and a 200-seat theater which serve as the basis for the facility’s programming.
