 Berkeley
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.
