Formed in March of 2019, community members came together around a common mission - Arts, Culture, and Economic Prosperity for the City of Fall River. The Fall River Arts & Culture Coalition (FRACC) is a committee of the Bristol Country Chamber Foundation Inc. (DBA One SouthCoast Chamber).
FRACC consistently empowers the community by nurturing creativity and making a lasting positive impact on Fall River. With captivating murals, national grants, and impactful community initiatives, FRACC has firmly established itself as a key player in enhancing the city's cultural landscape.
The FRACC is proud of its open-source commitment, inviting anyone and every organization to join who is committed to collaboration and improving the quality of life for Fall River residents by growing opportunities and support for the arts, culture, and creative economy of the City.
