Arts and Humanities Council was organized in February of 1976 under the leadership of Rosemary Voglewede. Most of the committee members had formerly been affiliated with the Community Betterment Contest in which Carrington had participated.

In addition to the Betterment contest, the Council has sponsored Art Shows, stage productions, including support of Foster Fantasy Factory, the local stage group. It sponsored Arts in the Park for the young people in the community for one week in the summer time, as well as bringing art into the classroom by hosting guests to come to the schools.

The council is fully organized and incorporated so that it is qualified for grants and other gratuities from outside sources.
