Free Trial!
Did you know that we have a FREE TRIAL for kids 2-5 to see if they like our Art+Play class?
Free Trial Date: Monday, March 16 at 9:30am
Attend a free trial class the week before the 4-week session begins!
Interested in the class? Here are the details:
Art+Play returns to the MAC! We practice process art, which is a playful and explorative approach to creating. Here, the journey is more important than the final product. We believe children learn best through hands-on exploration and experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques. Each class offers several creative opportunities, empowering your child to make their own choices and work at their own pace. We hope to see you there!

All 4 weeks: $90 for MAC Members, $105 for nonmembers

Movies at the MAC
Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt

Wednesday, February 11 at 7:00pm

$5 per person

In conjunction with the DATMA/MA exhibition Being Seen: Celebrating Pride in the SouthCoast, we offer this wonderful film.

A tremendous, handmade monument to lives lost to AIDS, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt demonstrated that grief and activism together could forge a powerful symbol of resilience. Winner of the Academy Award for best documentary feature, this moving film—buoyed by an original all-vocal score by Bobby McFerrin—explores the human stories obscured by statistics, examining the cross section of identities affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as efforts to combat the stigma, misinformation, and political obstruction that deepened the crisis.

History will record that in the last quarter of the 20th century a new and deadly virus emerged and that the one nation on earth with the resources, knowledge, and institutions to respond to the epidemic failed to do so. History will further record that our nation’s failure was based on ignorance, prejudice, greed and fear not in the heartlands of America but within the oval office and the halls of Congress.
— Cleve Jones, The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt
