The Ebbs Chapel Community Center provides a venue for the performing arts, conferences, festivals, weddings, and similar activities, and hosts services for the people of the Upper Laurel community and those beyond, in and on the grounds of the historic Ebbs Chapel School. The Center is managed by the Upper Laurel Community Organization, Inc., a registered non-profit North Carolina corporation with voluntary leadership, dedicated only to the renovation, maintenance and operation of the Center. Activities of the Center are supported and funded by facility rental proceeds, contributions from the community and with the cooperation and support of Madison County, North Carolina.
One of the major achievements in the conversion of the historic Ebbs Chapel School to a Community Center was the restoration of the school’s auditorium to a climate controlled 250-seat theater: the Ebbs Chapel Performing Arts Center. The Center has been the site of frequent performances by accomplished amateur and professional musicians celebrating traditional mountain music, as well as gospel and classical genres. The Center is a member of the Blue Ridge Music Trails and a venue for an annual concert series sponsored by the Madison County Arts Council.
