After 23 years in the historic “Old Post Office” building (owned by the County) at the corner of Third Avenue and 220 S. Main St., Lexington, NC, Arts United for Davidson County will vacate the premises and open a new office in the old Belk Building on South Main Street. The economy forced the board of directors of Arts United to make the difficult decision to leave their classrooms, galleries and gift shop space behind and settle for a single office with a small meeting area. The organization will still raise funds and receive Grassroots Arts funding from the North Carolina Arts Council to support local arts groups and projects.
The Arts Council of Davidson County merged with the Davidson County Museum of Art in 2000.
