ARTS EDUCATION

Since 1978, the Morgan Arts Council has provided arts education programming within the community. When the Ice House was acquired in 1996, art classes in visual arts and theater soon took hold as a complement to new gallery and community theater space. In 2005 a dance studio was added. Youth art education evolved into after school classes, summer art camps, and artist residencies along with arts integration programming in local public schools.

Arts Integration MAC collaborates with the Morgan County Schools to enhance core academic curriculum subjects using visual art, film, dance, theater and music. During the 2012-13 school year, topics explored included ecology, endangered animals, recycling, Middle East culture, public speaking and creative writing.

Adopt A School As MAC's longest running program, Adopt-a-School brings artists into all Morgan County schools for short-term residencies and assembly programs that meet core curriculum objectives. Since 1977 more than 175 artists have participated, reaching an average of 1500 students per year.
