Monongalia Arts Center
Monongalia Arts Center (MAC) serves as a home for visual arts, performing arts, and educational and community outreach programming for the Morgantown community. MAC needs classroom/studio spaces, improved backstage/support spaces for the Tanner Theatre, and additional gallery space. MAC’s programming is currently spread across three floors. The renovation will allow MAC to expand the number of programs and activities it provides to the community as well as improve its current curriculum.
Your Community Foundation
Serving five counties in north central West Virginia, Your Community Foundation's (YCF) mission is to promote philanthropy and build endowment funds to benefit local communities. YCF enables local people with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about with grants and scholarships to qualified people, programs, and projects. To achieve its mission, YCF requires a fully functional office space for both its employees and clients. YCF’s current office does not meet these standards due to the deteriorating condition of the roof. The aging roof of the 1931 Addition is subject to significant leaks that have become severe enough to force YCF to temporarily relocate.
Morgantown History Museum
The city-sponsored Morgantown History Museum’s mission is to preserve and promote local and regional history and to make it accessible to the citizens of Morgantown and visitors to the region. The Museum has worked hard to collect and display local cultural artifacts, presented speaker series, hosted traveling exhibits, and other historical and educational programs. The Museum’s existing space is well curated and takes full advantage of the Museum’s current home in the lower level of the 1931 addition. The Museum requires additional exhibition and storage space for its steadily expanded collection as well as improved access to the amenities the historic building offers. By installing multiple teaser-exhibits on the first floor near entry points and improving accessibility throughout the building, the Museum will be able to reach a larger audience as well as support additional programming and events.
