The MAC’s mission is to cultivate an inclusive and resilient creative economy of people and resources through active participation and outreach. We have 14+ studios complete with equipment in a 20,000 sq facility. We support over 250 classes, meetings and programs monthly. Values: Encouragement of Creative Expression, Community Building through Collaboration, Sustainability and Inclusivity drive our daily work and are visible throughout our spaces. We hope you’ll want to be a part of the MAC!
We are the future. Launching a business, learning something new, managing your mental health or connecting to people/community? The MAC is here!
