McDowell Arts  
Council Assoc. 

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-seven 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.
