MAC was established in the late 1970s and has stood as the cornerstone of the area’s arts scene since.
The center has a long history as a cultural institution serving the community with access to art exhibitions, educational programs and events across all artistic mediums.
It houses two galleries, a theater and multiple classrooms. In recent years MAC has fallen on hard financial times between the pandemic and repairs needed on the historic building.
Attendance at this event will help the MAC sustain arts programing and to reopen full-time again.
Strategic plans for revitalization of the building include infrastructure improvements and spatial renovations to create a center equipped to serve a modern community of artists and art enthusiasts.
