Berkeley Art Works

About

The Berkeley Arts Council promotes communication, collaboration, and opportunities for the arts community in Berkeley County, West Virginia.

Story

The Berkeley Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) non‐profit organization incorporated in West Virginia working to ensure that Berkeley County has a vibrant, vital arts environment by promoting awareness, understanding and appreciation of the literary, visual and performing arts in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.

The Berkeley Art Works, a project of the Berkeley Arts Council, is the realization of the long-held dream of the arts community in Martinsburg and Berkeley County West Virginia: to have a community-based arts facility that supports local and regional artists, brings quality arts experiences for the members of the public, and provides a wide range of arts learning experiences for local residents, artists, and artisans. The Berkeley Arts Council is on the Web at www.berkeleyartswv.org.

Mission

The common element of successful arts communities is an arts council, an independent, broad-based umbrella organization that supports an organized, active, and broadly cooperative arts community.

In August, 2009, The Berkeley County Arts Council was formed to meet this need. The Berkeley Arts Council will provide unified communication, promotion, support and advocacy for the arts community in Berkeley County, West Virginia.
