Seeing the desperate state of Arts and Music education in Monongalia County in 1992 (during a hard local depression), MAC created ArtsReach.
In the beginning, Monongalia Arts Center was the only place offering community Arts classes in the region. As our community grew so did its needs. MAC was there for them, always providing the home and a starting point for Arts education and programming. Almost every Arts organization in the region founded after 1978 has gotten its start at MAC - either by its founders starting as teachers at MAC and or by having used MAC as a liaison to the Greater Morgantown Community. This is a point of pride for MAC and we continue to provide this service. As new organizations sprout to fulfill the needs of niche aspirations, MAC evolves to work in new under-serviced areas.
Today MAC focuses on affordable personalized Arts education as well as providing Arts & Music education to underprivileged and socioeconomically challenged communities beyond the Morgantown City limits. We offer a plethora of custom private lessons in music, drawing, sculpture and even glass work for a fraction of the costs of a similar education anywhere else in our area. If you desire a certain Arts skill and have four friends who want to join you, MAC will even customize a class to your needs and schedule at anytime.

Today ArtsReach focuses on schools and communities beyond Morgantown City limits. Almost every school outside of our county seat has more than 75% of students on subsidized and discounted school lunches. Arts and Music education develops critical thinking skills. Arts and Music education directly impacts math, science and language skills. Denying Arts and Music education is denying our youth a better future. MAC sends teachers and performers to schools and community centers. If possible MAC brings students and families to the Arts as well by sponsoring elaborate field trips to regional and national Arts events and centers.
