Mountain Arts Program
​The Mountain Arts Program (MAP) is a long-standing partnership between McDowell County Schools and McDowell Arts Council Association. With the goal of supplementing regular arts education in schools, MACA pairs teaching artists of all mediums from across our state to classrooms in McDowell County for week-long residencies to enrich the lives and outcomes for our kids. 

In Summer 2021 this program hosted 5 concurrent teaching residencies for K-12 classes during Summer Enrichment classes including origami, painting, photography, music, poetry, and theatre.
