Byhalia Area Arts Council wins Heritage Award of Merit for Organizational Achievement

Byhalia Area Arts Council, Byhalia, MS

Founded in 2011 to support and enhance cultural arts opportunities for all residents of Marshall County, the Byhalia Area Arts Council saw the vacant Byhalia High School as the perfect venue to achieve its mission.  Working with Belinda Stewart Architects, the organization has involved the City of Byhalia, Byhalia Area Chamber of Commerce, Mississippi Main Street Association, Mississippi Department of Archives and History and many of Byhalia’s citizens to complete the initial restoration phase of what will become Byhalia Old School Commons.
