A Brief History
The Civic Center opened in July of 1988 with comedian Jerry Clower playing to a packed house.  It was such a hit that he returned each year until his passing, always finding an appreciative Stanly County audience.  Throughout the years, the Center has hosted other events presented by the Stanly County Concert Association, musicals and drama by the Uwharrie Players, southern gospel and bluegrass concerts by local and regional promoters and church- related events.  The Stanly County Arts Council presents programs by regionally and nationally-known artists such as the North Carolina Symphony for Stanly County school students and the general public.  The school system utilizes the facility for graduation ceremonies for the four local high schools.  The facility is available for rent for both private and public events.
