About the Multnomah Arts Center Association
The Multnomah Arts Center Association (MACA) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which supports the vibrancy and health of the Multnomah Arts Center. Since 1983, when MAC relocated to the former Multnomah School, MACA has gradually grown into a strong friends group that provides critical fundraising and advocacy. MACA enhances the Center by raising money to assure programs and instruction are of high quality, are affordable and accessible. To reach these goals MACA provides scholarships, supports community engagements efforts, and provides specialized arts equipment and facility improvements that enhance the quality of teaching and learning for students, instructors, and the community at-large.
MACA Board
The all-volunteer board passionately believes that community art education is an essential ingredient in a thriving culture and that our community’s future is strengthened though its work. In support of this belief, all board members also donate to MACA at a level that is significant to them. We thank them for their commitment to MAC’s work in the community.
