History
The MBACD began in May of 2011 and moved into our 6000 square foot gallery / community center at the end of 2012. We are a primarily volunteer organization but added our first employee in 2014 due to our growth. We aim to bring a wide variety of events and exhibits to as diverse a group of people as possible. In addition to visual and performing arts, we also host community meetings and rent our facility for weddings, birthday parties, charity events, dances, concerts.....Our aim is to help to increase the economic development of our community and improve the life and livelihood of its residents through the arts. We welcome you to our arts center and look forward to hearing what you have to say!
