About The Valley River Arts Guild
The Valley River Arts Guild (VRAG) was formed in 2010, to support the talent and creativity of the artists in our community, unify our community around the arts through classes and events, and enhance the livability of our town as an art-centric community. The VRAG conducts classes for kids, teens, and adults, hosts a beautiful arts and crafts gallery at our Murphy Art Center for regional artists, and sponsors art events including the Downtown Murphy Art Walk and our new Murphy Art Xplosion (MAX) Project Outdoor Art Gallery to establish the region as an arts destination.

​The VRAG Gallery, is located at The Murphy Art Center (The MAC),
​33 Valley River Avenue in downtown Murphy, North Carolina.
Original and affordable works of art from dozens of artists are on display and for sale.
The Art Classroom is located in the Murphy Art Center, adjacent to the VRAG Galleries.
