Manchester Arts Center to Host “Save the MAC” Event

The Manchester Arts Center recently put out a plea on their Facebook page:

“Since 2020 Arts Centers and theaters have been closing down permanently across the nation. The Manchester Arts Center and Millennium Repertory Company lost tens of thousands that year and the years that followed. The MAC does not receive money from the City of Manchester. We survive solely on the donations of our patrons. We are asking for your help to keep our doors open and to keep our programs going. Without support, in a matter of months, we will not be able to continue serving our community.

The arts are a vital part of Manchester’s community and tradition that we can’t afford to lose. So here’s how you can help. We are hosting a Save the MAC event September 6th 4-7pm. Join us to take a behind the scenes tour of the facility, learn about the programs and people who fill the space at the MAC, and help us raise funds to keep the doors open and the lights on. No donation is too small (or too large) to help keep the arts alive in Manchester.

Coming to a show? There is a donation box in the lobby and donations can be made via credit card at the concessions stand. Want to support but unable to come to the event? Please use the link below:
