History
… founded in 2000, in Randolph County, West Virginia. The historic building was purchased in 2000, renovated and opened in 2001.
The historic building was constructed in 1927; designed by architect Walter F. Martens. Saint Brendan's Catholic Church served the community at this location until 1999. Features of the building include local quarried sandstone blocks on the outside with a border of stone relief angels around the building. Due to the artistic nature of religious iconography, it remains unaltered in the nave.
Randolph County Community Arts Council, Inc. was created when the community identified a need for an Arts Center and local residents took the initiative to purchase this historic building. For over 25 years, we have provided arts programming such as art classes, exhibitions, performances, events and more. We exist with arts education at the heart of our mission and a dedicated team of volunteers, directors and community who value the arts.
