Troy Arts Council is known largely for it’s financial and manpower support of many of the area’s finest displays of local talent. TAC has supported local artistic groups ranging from the We Piddle Around Theatre in Brundidge to the Troy-Pike Cultural Arts Foundation by aiding in financial means through grants and donations from the Troy Arts Council patrons.

From the first formulating thought and funding, Troy Arts Council continues to heavily supports TroyFest, the largest arts and crafts festival in the area. TAC was the founder of the annual Arts and Crafts Festival beginning with Art in the Park, then Jean Lake Festival and now TroyFest in cooperation with the City of Troy and the Pike County Chamber of Commerce.

TAC supports area schools’ art and music programs by contributing to specific needs of each program. Each year, TAC sets aside funds to aid in the enrichment of Pike County’s youth. TAC also grants an annual $2,000 Jean Lake Scholarship in recognition of an outstanding art student from Troy and/or Pike County.
