The mission of the Raton Arts & Humanities Council is to encourage and strengthen the cultural life of the area, providing residents, whether trained or untrained in the arts, with opportunities for artistic participation, self- expression, education, and enjoyment.

Primary Programs:

The council’s programs are designed to meet several goals and objectives: one of the most important is to further the development, learning and appreciation of the arts in recognition of the fact that the arts are important to the well being of a community and its citizens. It has become increasingly recognized across the country that a dynamic cultural atmosphere is of economic value to a community, providing an attraction for visitors and tourists as well as prospective businesses and residents. This in turn inherently increases the monetary and human values of the arts. Other goals include enriching quality of life, enhancing educational programs, fostering creativity, self- esteem building, and increasing appreciation of all artistic disciplines.
