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!

DATMA @ The MAC got a little love from our friend at Sippizine, Alanna Nelson, and we thought we'd share it here and remind you to head on over if you haven't experienced the show yet.
"You never know what Valentine’s Day will bring you. For me, it brought rejoicing voices, introspection and a moved bookcase: Love shows itself in many ways.
Valentine’s Day was the opening reception of DATMA’s public art exhibit, Being Seen: Celebrating South Coast Pride at the Marion Art Center (MAC). The festooned exterior vibrates through March 14, but don’t miss the art that undulates inside, too. During the reception, the MAC was packed!
More than 100 painted panels make up this traveling public art display. Donated old sails were cut into right angle triangles. DATMA asked everyone to take a triangle (or two) and respond to the theme. Downstairs in MAC Gallery, you’ll find memorabilia of the South Coast’s journey of supporting and defending LGBTQIA+ voices and rights and beautiful biographies of local volunteers and activists. Upstairs, waving panels in a rainbow of voices surround the the visitors.
DATMA Executive Director Lindsay Mis shared how Being Seen evolved in ways she didn’t expect and her excitement for sharing stories in the future. Aneshia Savino (who contributed to Sippizine, Volume 6) read their commissioned work, Recognition. Being Seen debuted in July 2025 in New Bedford before moving to UMass Dartmouth last fall. In June, it find its next iteration in Fall River."
DATMA is also sponsoring a workshop:
In the Classroom with George Summers
Keeping an Artist Journal from the Queer Perspective on March 14th. It's pay what you can, and a valuable workshop. Link in comments for reservations & information.
