About

For over 60 years, Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) has connected people with creativity. We are a contemporary arts centre and independent charity, with the mission to make art an important part of people's lives.

Set in the magnificent surroundings of Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham, MAC is the number one visited free attraction in the West Midlands. We welcome over 850,000 visitors annually.

We're proud to offer a dynamic programme of live theatre, cinema, visual arts exhibitions, practical courses, and special events. 

At the heart of MAC is a focus on sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion. We work extensively to support international and local artists, and develop programmes for and with our local community.

We thank Postcode Lottery players for their extraordinary support, which has helped shape MAC’s work for many years. To date, MAC has received £5.6 million in funding awarded by Postcode Culture Trust, enabling us to connect more people and communities with creativity.

MAC is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation and gratefully receives public funding through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in support of our work.
