Multnomah Arts Center is opening its doors for an evening celebrating creativity, community, and our shared belief that the arts should be accessible to everyone!
On Friday, October 16th from 6:00–8:00 PM, explore MAC through 15 unique hands-on experiences, demonstrations, performances, and opportunities to meet the artists, educators, guilds, and community partners who make this place so special. Visitors can experience everything from ceramics, printmaking and metalsmithing to dance, music, woodworking and more.
Founded in 1973, Multnomah Arts Center has been part of Portland’s creative community for more than 50 years and is one of the largest comprehensive community arts centers in the nation. MAC serves more than 6,000 students of all ages and abilities each year through affordable visual, performing, and literary arts education, while its community engagement programs extend well beyond the building. Each summer, Arts in the Parks alone brings free arts experiences to thousands of Portland residents across more than 20 parks, from St. Johns to East County.
The Community Open House brings that mission to life through Arts for All, inviting people to participate, create, discover something new, and connect with some of the artists and organizations that make Portland such a vibrant creative community.
