History


Founded in 1955In 1955, six local artists gathered in the Mooresville War Memorial basement to plan and exchange ideas. The group grew from there, and in 1966, the group expanded to 20 artists and became known as the "Mooresville Artist Guild". In 1978, the Mooresville Artist Guild is adopted by the Town and allowed to lease the vacant Depot building for its new home. In 2014, the Mooresville Artist Guild changed its dba to "Mooresville Arts" and incorporated all visual arts by offering free exhibits, art classes for adult and kids, and summer camps. 
Since then, the organization has grown tremendously, and went from 100% volunteer-ran to now managed by four part-time staff members, a Board of Directors, and supported by numerous volunteers, patrons, artists and the Mooresville community. 

Without the support of these amazing community partners, this site would not be possible.
