designated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

History:

The Cultural Council of Cortland County was formally organized in 2000 by a
group of county residents who saw the need for a county-wide arts service
organization. Individuals in the group had been active in the former Cortland
Arts Council and knew how much that organization contributed to the cultural life
of Cortland County throughout its duration. They felt the lack of such an
organization over the past decade was detrimental to the cultural development
of the county. Thus, encouraged by the New York State Council on the Arts to
create a new organization, they formed the Cultural Council of Cortland County
(CCCC) in order to provide services to Cortland County's arts and cultural
community and to its residents and visitors. These services are made possible,
in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state
agency, and with funding from the Cultural resources Council of Onondaga
County, the County of Cortland, and individual donors.
