| The Ridgefield Arts Council (RAC) was created in 1997 to foster and promote the Ridgefield arts community. RAC committee members are selected and supported by the Board of Selectmen to support and develop avenues to extend the arts into our community. The Arts council welcomes support from the community as volunteers at events and as Advisory Members. Public meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at Ridgefield Town Hall. Please check the events calendar on this website for our current schedule. Learn more about the town of Ridgefield, CT.

These forums are casual and organic by nature and are an integral part of the process of creating and maintaining a sense of community within the creative arts. Previous forums have featured venue managers, concert producers, and gallery owners. These forums culminate in an annual all-artists networking event. If you would like to be included in an upcoming arts forum, please contact us at: info@ridgefieldartscouncil.org.  The film commission facilitates every aspect of filming in Ridgefield—from working with location scouts, to filling out permits, dealing with catering, extras, governmental issues, etc. The Ridgefield Film Commission deals directly with the Connecticut Film Commission and the government. We keep track of the number of films, commercials, still shoots, videos, documentaries and television shows that shoot in our town and report it annually to the state.
