Keep creativity open to everyone

Every day, people come to MAC to make, learn, watch, perform, connect and spend time together.

As an independent charity, we believe everyone should be able to experience the arts, whatever their background, age or ability to pay. Our building is open to visitors every day, with free exhibitions alongside affordable courses, cinema, performances and community activity. 

Your support helps us keep creativity accessible and create opportunities for people and artists across Birmingham.

Why your support matters

MAC works hard to generate its own income, with 68% raised through our arts and trading activity. But earned income alone cannot fund everything our charity provides.

Donations help us keep exhibitions free and creative activities affordable, create opportunities for children and communities and provide paid work for artists.

Whether you give £5 or £500, your support helps make creativity part of everyday life.
