Who We Serve
Your donation goes further than you might expect!
At MAC, we believe solo artists are as vital to our cultural fabric as large concert halls. An African drum ensemble does as much to make Greenville remarkable as a breakdance crew.
Artistic expression comes in all sizes and styles, and it all makes up the patchwork of our dynamic art scene.
That's why we're committed to equitable distribution of support. Donations to MAC are used to provide grants and other vital services to…
- Individual artists
- Collectives
- Organizations
- Schools (SmartARTS)
Elevating the Arts & Art Appreciation in Greenville
MAC partners with donors to serve the arts community in four primary ways.
Support
MAC awards grants to support individual artists, arts organizations and arts education programs throughout Greenville. The impact of these grants is significant. Without them, many arts and cultural projects would not exist.

Promote
