Welcome to the Yadkin Arts Council
and Yadkin Cultural Arts Center Website
The Yadkin Arts Council owes its beginning to a small group of dedicated local people with a common desire to promote the visual and performing arts in their rural community...and eventually, to find a permanent home for the arts. The latter would take some time. The Yadkin Arts Council has been housed over the years in a number of unusual buildings, including a freezer locker (see "A Slice of History").
The Yadkin Valley has undergone a sea change: where tobacco once was king, vineyards thrive. Responding to the changing needs and broadened scope of its community, the Council is transforming a historic landmark building in downtown Yadkinville into a 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art cultural center, the YCAC.
The Yadkin Cultural Arts Center
- Will build community
- Attract new residents

- Grow social capital and cultural tourism.
