In the heart of Columbiana sits a little building that draws the community together for various art shows, concerts and holiday community events.

For years this place has hosted and supported local artists, both experienced and new.

The Shelby County Arts Council’s mission is to support, nurture and promote the arts and cultural opportunities in Shelby County. Their space includes gallery exhibits, stage performances and classroom instruction in drawing, painting, pottery and music.

The SCAC is now offering a little something else. The community now has the opportunity to rent the space at the Shelby County Arts Council for special private parties.

Whether you are looking for a place for a birthday party, anniversary, engagement party or other memorable event, the Shelby County Arts Council wants to help.

The SCAC will work with you to obtain the best entertainment specific to your event.

Make reservations for space at the Shelby County Arts Council today for your event in 2015.
