Enrich Greenville's Culture with Us
Greenville's art scene is as beautiful and diverse as its people.
We're home to clay makers, dancers, musicians, painters, actors, poets, sculptors, and a kaleidoscope of others. Individual artists, collectives, and organizations of all sizes are shaping Greenville into an arts and culture hub.
MAC exists to stimulate and support this thriving arts scene and help more people enjoy and appreciate it.

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)
