Guided programs include a critique of current artwork on exhibit in the galleries, a historic walking tour and exhibition, studio art demonstrations and instruction or any combination of these based on available time and areas of interest. Guided programs must be scheduled at least two weeks prior to the visit and cost approximately $60 per hour for 12 participants.

The MAC will validate your parking ticket for 30 minutes.

Studio Art Programs

The MAC has a twelve month schedule of studio programs for adults and children as young as 2 years of age. Individuals and small groups may register for scheduled programs by going to our web site or calling for a listing of courses. Special studio programs held in our state of the art, air-conditioned studios, and conducted by the Center's certified teaching staff, will give participants the opportunity to experience a variety of media while exploring drawing, painting, color theory and design in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

After School Art Studio

Taught by certified instructional staff, this program is designed to give students the opportunity to come and visit our galleries and spend the afternoon viewing and creating art. The one hour visit includes two short programs: a walk through our gallery looking and talking about art, followed by a fun art lesson to help the students understand the process of making art and creating a piece of work like those in our gallery.
