McClellanville Arts Council

Membership

The arts bring visitors to our area and enrich the lives of those who live here. A publication of the Coastal Community Foundation recently observed that the McClellanville Arts Council “provides support not only for artists, but also for the general public. They run a dynamite art gallery and offer first class lessons in arts. . …If you care about positive activities, this organization deserves your support.”

  Thanks to your generosity, the past year has been an exciting one for the McClellanville Arts Council. Exhibits brought the work of Stephen Bleicher, William P. Baldwin, Gloria Penninger Welch, and students from Lincoln High School to our gallery. Concerts by Ann Caldwell, Chamber Music Charleston, Jack Williams, The Hungry Monks, the Lincoln High School steel drum band, and Rut Leland and Mindy Burgin filled the Arts Center with music. Workshops in lampwork, ceramics, and stained glass enhanced the skills of adult artisans. And pottery, Mad Science, dance, and drama classes for kids inspired a new generation of artists.

The coming year will bring many challenges as budget cuts dig ever deeper into state and national funding for the arts. We are working to develop stronger sources of earned income, including sales of our award-winning cookbooks and income from our shop on Pinckney Street.  But contributions from our members are more crucial than ever, and we need your help more than ever to keep our doors open.

And as you do your gift shopping, don’t forget to stop by and check out the new treasures in our shop, from fine paintings and massive wooden dough bowls to fused glass earrings and nightlights. We have many affordable items that would make great gifts for everyone on your list.

Please take a moment to fill out the membership pledge with your contribution.  Memberships are tax-deductible, and members receive a discount on all classes and events. Rest assured, we will not sell or give your information to anyone else.
