We’re celebrating a half-century of ARTS!
A bit of Arts Council history: The first service project of the newly-incorporated Macon County Cultural Arts Council (we simplified our name in 1986) was launched October 6, 1975, when Council volunteers "started sending letters to local organizations for information for Calendar of Events to be kept by the Franklin Chamber of Commerce."
— from the MCCAC 1975-1976 year-end report
How appropriate that the Council’s first major 50th year service project is to develop, maintain, and share with the public a countywide user-friendly arts calendar which should be a useful tool for artists, event presenters, and potential attendees alike. Stay tuned for news of this and other 50th year celebration initiatives, and please submit to us your own ideas of how we can serve you in 2025 and into the future!

CULTURE: Fleeting as birdsong, as laughter; solid as bone and stone.
We create it and are re-created by it, our lives flowing like water into the stream of it.
It’s us, who we are and what we do in this place, in this time… our dreaming, singing,
dancing, loving, working, playing, planting, tending, looking, learning, listening.
It’s us, delighting in our diversity, singing our own songs, choosing to become our best.
The late SALLY KESLER, silk screen/fiber artist, musician, and Arts Council charter member, wrote this for the Council’s 1979 brochure. We’re proud to share it again as we enter our 50th year. Come celebrate a half-century of ARTS with us!
