The Buckingham County Arts Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to the support of the visual and performing arts, and is partially funded by a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. It is located in Buckingham, Virginia, in a historic building which was built in 1916 and housed the Buckingham Elementary School, and is now known as the Buckingham Arts and Community Center.

The Buckingham County Arts Council, Inc., was organized in the spring of 1982 for the purpose of bringing art programs of superior quality to the citizens of Buckingham County. The Council's school-based programs have been diverse and have included instruction in art, photography, chorus, piano, string instruments, composition, puppetry, dance, and drama. For the community, BCAC has provided guest performances, exhibits, festivals, workshops in music, sculpture, auditioning, pottery, basketry, stained glass, etching, keyboard/synthesizer, drama, creative writing, figure drawing, watercolor, oil painting, drawing with pen and ink, pastels, charcoal, and an annual summer arts program for children. The Buckingham Youth Touring Company with its Institute for Performing Arts is affiliate of BCAC. BCAC provides space, training, and work opportunities for aspiring as well as established artists.

In July of 1987, BCAC established the Buckingham Arts and Community Center through a renovation project funded by local donations and a grant from the Historic Landmarks Commission.
