The Burke Arts Council is pleased to announce the Annual First Frost Art Show & Sale. Artists Reception, November 15 from 4 to 7PM.

Come One, Come All! - We’re cleaning out our basement to make room for artist studios. Come by on Saturday, November 2, from 9AM until 2PM. 

We’ve loved having The Carolina Primrose Quartet perform this year (and based on the fantastic feedback we’ve received, you all have too!), so we’re having them back yet again! As the leaves begin to change color and the autumn breeze is in the air, what better way to usher in the new season than with a wonderful evening of music! We hope you’ll join us for September Strings!

The 2024 October Oyster Outing has been postponed, more details and information on a new date to come.

Inspired by other local celebrity events, “Designing Duos” will feature a live auction of the art created by the designing duo teams. The goal of the event is not only to raise funds to support local arts programming and education, but also to shine a spotlight on local artists and community leaders.

Join us for this year’s Music on the Porch Day with Alan Darveaux!

Join Hillman Beer Morganton on August 12th for our monthly “Power in Pints” fundraiser! $1 for every draft Hillman beer, cider or seltzer sold on this day will be donated to Burke Arts Council.

Join us as we take a glimpse into Roswell Elmer Jr.'s Journal 1829-1830 with Morganton resident and historian, Larry Cole. It will be a fascinating evening!
