WHAT IS MACA?
WE'RE A NONPROFIT FOR THE ARTS!

In 1972, a group of fifty-two locals created McDowell Arts Council Association, Inc., ​a nonprofit 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. We promote inclusion, diversity, and accessibility in all programming at MACA. ​The arts are for all people. ✌️

CREATIVE ECONOMY
  • MACA's Artisan Shop hosts the work of 90+ local artists and craftspeople.
  • We host monthly gallery shows featuring students, groups, students, and special exhibits.
  • We work to connect artists and organizations with creative grants, such as the Regional Artist Project Grant and the Arts Equity Project Grant.

​ARTS EDUCATION
  • MACA works to support arts educators in the school system and our communities.
  • We hire teaching artists to hold week-long residencies in McDowell County Schools through the Mountain Arts Program and Grassroots Funding through the North Carolina Arts Council.
  • During non-COVID times we hold on-site classes and workshops for people of all ages and ability levels. 

THE PERFORMING ARTS
  • A cornerstone of MACA's programming is access to space for the performing arts in our community. Whether this be on-site in the Greenlee Theatre, or by traveling performances in our school systems.
  • McDowell Children's Theatre is a 100% cost-free program of McDowell Arts Council Association and welcomes every child K-12. We are on pause for 2021.
  • Partners of Foothills Community Theatre
  • Producers of Micropolitan Film Festival & so much more
