Emerging from pandemic

Stecoah – Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center is rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic, with new folks at the helm. As a result, programs from previous years are resuming and new ideas are formulating. COVID-19 forced Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center to close for most of 2020.

Organizers remained hopeful, but eventually had to err on the side of caution. Both the Graham County Festival Board and Stecoah Valley Center Board of Directors opted to cancel Music on the Square, the Graham County Arts & Crafts Festival and the Stecoah Heritage Festival last week.
