a note from us
Hi friends and folks, we hope everyone is safe and healthy and y’all are doing well.
Here at McDowell Arts Council Association, as everywhere, Summer planning has taken an unexpected turn. Normally during this time, we would be gearing up for summer art camps, McDowell Children’s Theatre, workshops for adults, and community events. Summer has always been our busiest time of year, and MACA would be busting at the seams with classes and rehearsals by mid-June. As theatres and galleries remain closed, we are using this time to restructure our programming. We are preparing art activities (for children) that can be safely picked up at the arts council starting in July. We are also doing our best to maintain operations, albeit digitally, and remain a resource for our community. The MACA staff (of two), board members, and volunteers look forward to reopening when we can do so safely and responsibly for all who take part in our programming. For now, we are going to wait a bit longer and further refine our operating plan to put us in the best place possible for a potential reopen in Phase III. In the meantime, we thank you for your continued support and patience and look forward to seeing our friends soon. If you need to reach us we are available at mcdowellarts@gmail.com via text or leave us a voicemail at 828.559.1404 anytime.

WELCOME TO MACA!
On February 28, 1972, a group of fifty-two local residents
created McDowell Arts Council Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization.
These folks were proud of their local artistic heritage and wanted to share this legacy while
promoting local artists and enriching cultural life in McDowell County.
Forty-eight years later, the arts council continues to encourage local artists providing gallery space,
a retail shop, teaching opportunities and theater space for the performing arts.
-
We promote inclusion, diversity, and accessibility in all programming here at MACA.
The arts are for all people.
