The Ice House Art & Community Center Berkeley Springs West VirginiaBerkeley Springs Art Town

The Morgan Arts Council (MAC) was established in 1977 and Berkeley Springs, art town began to flourish. Today, MAC makes its home in the Ice House, a former 40,000 square foot apple cold storage building currently being renovated into a community art center.

Arts Council programs range from free summer concerts in Berkeley Springs State Park every Saturday afternoon in July and August to an active Ice House Theater Project and changing exhibit gallery with ArtWalks to mark show openings. There are Ice House concerts, art classes, youth theater and an artists' cooperative selling visual products.

An annual Art Auction is filled with local art creations, and there are regular studio tours. MAC has even published two volumes of local short stories with a third expected by the end of 2004.

All this activity has earned Berkeley Springs a national reputation as an art town and it was voted by American Style magazine as the #12 art destination in the country.
