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.

View Grants

Promote

MAC's Arts Directory, Calendar, and Newsletter shine a spotlight on all things art in Greenville. These free resources help artists and arts organizations share their work with a new and growing audience.

Connect

MAC is the bridge fostering camaraderie and collaboration between artists and arts organizations. MAC members can promote events, discover opportunities, buy and sell arts-related items, and more.

Educate
