Monongalia Arts Center

The Monongalia Arts Center is where I first developed a taste for art in college. The MAC opened in 1978 as a non-profit arts and culture center, which it remains today. Their mission is “to provide a home for the arts where the work of visual and performing artists is showcased and interest inn the arts in nurtured through ongoing educational programs.”
