We are grateful for the support these organizations have provided to the MAC and to countless other deserving organizations. Would you like to help? Donate here
Congratulations to our 2020 scholarship recipients, Brynja Kirby and Lauren Larson!
Each year, the M.A.C. works with the Monroe Public Schools Foundation to offer financial support for graduating seniors who have expressed an intention to pursue higher education and careers in the arts.
