Arts Council of Wayne County
The Triangle
Welcome to The Arts Council of Wayne County, a vibrant hub for local and regional art forms. Our gallery space and studios showcase a diverse range of artistic expressions, providing a platform for both established and emerging artists to engage with the community.
The Arts Council of Wayne County was formed in November 1963. The organization as we know it today is the result of a merger between the Community Arts Council and the Goldsboro Art League. This merger was accomplished during 1980-1981 and was a move on the part of both organizations to coordinate all arts programs more efficiently and economically.
Beginning in January 2001, the Arts Council occupied a facility on the corner of Ash Street and Spence Avenue in Goldsboro, NC. This property allowed a spacious gallery downstairs with classroom and office space upstairs. The grounds contained a sloping lawn and pond where social gatherings and creative performances were offered to the public.
New opportunities eventually became available and in August 2011, the Arts Council leased a location at 102 N. John Street. A generous Main Street Solutions grant enabled building renovation to include an elevator and first-floor Gallery and Art Market spaces. The second floor housed an additional Gallery, music and art classrooms, artist studios, and staff offices.
