It’s been a very lucky seven years that I’ve had the honor of directing MAC. Thanks to the incredible support of community members like you, our nonprofit association has helped renovate the MAC gallery, the metals, ceramics, printmaking and visual arts studios, and created one of the city’s most beautiful murals in our lobby.

Now our focus is turning to the performing arts! Please take a look at page 42 to learn more about our immediate plans to bring SW Portland a greatly enhanced auditorium and a new performing arts space in the dance studio. Then, seriously consider supporting MACA as we embark on our biggest journey yet. Go to www.MultnomahArtsCenter.org/donate now. We can do it with your support!

Portland Parks & Recreation Family Classes Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean–up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

Open to the public. Free admission.

Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you’re working. Tell them it’s research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone.
