The

Mineral Area Council on the Arts

Story

Mineral Area Council on the Arts (MACOA) is an organization of volunteers dedicated to providing quality professional arts programming to local venues at an affordable price. The MACOA office is located on the campus of Mineral Area College. The Council is a not-for-profit organization governed by a 21 member board representing 5 counties.

Founded in the 1980s by a steering committee developed by former Mineral Area College President Dr. Dixie Kohn, MACOA presents an annual performance series which includes a variety of artistic genres.  Past performances have included the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, a classic film festival, Shakespeare in the Parkland, the Fabulous Motown Revue, French Creole fiddler Dennis Stroughmatt,

Celebrate Local Authors, and a variety of lectures, exhibits, concerts and plays featuring national and local artists and performers.

MACOA awards an annual Fine Arts scholarship to a Mineral Area College student.  Applications are available in the Mineral Area College Financial Aid Office. The Council also hosts the popular K-12 Student Art Show - exhibiting over 1100 pieces of local student artwork - and brings children's programs to Parkland area schools.
