McDowell Arts Council Association, Inc. was organized on February 28, 1972 by a group interested in promoting artistic and cultural activities in McDowell County. Fifty-two members, meeting in session at the McDowell County Public Library, discussed the possibility of getting people with similar interests to work together to enrich the cultural life of this area. Thirty five years later, MACA continues to promote and nurture the arts in McDowell County.
