Since 1975, the Allegany Arts Council has been the official "umbrella" organization for the arts in Allegany County, Maryland. The Arts Council is headquartered in the heart of Downtown Cumberland at 9 N. Centre Street, and is one of several anchors in the City's vibrant Arts & Entertainment District.
At this same location, the Allegany Arts Council also maintains professional exhibition spaces, the Saville Gallery and the Schwab Mountain Maryland Gallery, that feature the artwork of local, regional and national artists.
Effective immediately and through Saturday, November 28, the Arts Council galleries will be open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays only, 11:00AM - 5:00PM daily. Beginning November 29, we will close to the public with plans to reopen on Tuesday, February 2. The decision to reduce public access to the Arts Council during this time was difficult, but was made with a commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of our community.
In light of the changes to our schedule, we will be modifying some of our programming. Please continue to check our website and social media for updates.
