The MAC cultivates an inclusive and resilient creative economy of people and resources through active participation and outreach. We do this through our studio spaces, makerspace, galleries, offices, launchpad, meeting rooms, and more. By subsidizing access to equipment, people, and opportunities, we support making at all levels. The art center partners with nonprofits, artists, and community-builders to enhance quality of life of our region.
Using our tool-sharing, space-sharing, skill-sharing model, we support all levels of the creative economy including mental wellness and community connections. Our users feel the power of the MAC to turn ideas into a reality, build relationships, and encourage sustainability. You are welcome here. Join us and experience a community-driven space for all.
A time of uncertainty, the Manitou Art Center is focused on financial sustainability, mental health, and advocating for the region. A voice of stability and compassion, we are prepared to navigate and pivot as required to meet the needs of members, staff, volunteers, participants, and users.
Did you know that the Manitou Art Center is the largest makerspace in the State of Colorado?
