The Monongalia Arts Center (MAC) is Morgantown's main arts venue, occupying a historic building near the WVU campus. The center hosts rotating gallery exhibitions of visual art, a permanent collection, and performance events across the year. The programming tends toward work by regional and national artists, with a particular focus on Appalachian themes and traditions.
For a city its size, Morgantown has a genuinely active arts scene, sustained by the university's large student body and faculty. The MAC is the institutional anchor of it. Check the schedule before visiting — the events calendar shifts considerably between the academic year and summer.
