Great News!
The Cherokee County Arts Council (CCAC) and the Valley River Arts Guild (VRAG) are proud to announce the Murphy Art Center (MAC) is open!
Next time you are downtown, you will see the HUGE gorgeous We are Open sign.
Hours of operation, for now, are Monday through Saturday beginning at 10 am until 5 pm. The MAC will wait for guidance from the state and not schedule summer hours (Friday evening and Sundays), at this time. The MAC will also, for now, suspend the Murphy Art Walk, large events and membership meetings.
Our local and regional instructors are working with the Education Committee and scheduling classes, beginning of June. Please visit our Classes Page for all the latest information. A few items to consider, for now is, the maximum number of people in a class will be 10 persons, this will include the instructor. Social distancing guidelines will be enforced. All persons who enter the MAC, and/or register for a class will WEAR A MASK.
As you know, the Cherokee County Arts Council and the Valley River Arts Guild are non profit. During the closure, sales were not made. Bills did get paid. Everyone is strongly encouraged to do what they can, to donate what they can. If you are unable to come downtown and tour the MAC, please consider a donation? The number to make your donation, of any size is, 828.360.3038.
