HistoryOn July 1, 1996, the Manhattan Civic Theatre, Manhattan Arts Council, and Manhattan Arts Center (MAC) were legally merged into one organization. Efforts to establish an arts center for Manhattan began in 1984, but did not immediately bear fruit. In 1991, the Manhattan Civic Theatre joined forces with the Manhattan Arts Council, and in 1993 the MAC was established with the purpose of finding a permanent home for community arts. The team purchased the facility at 1520 Poyntz Avenue in 1993, with the help of a grant from the City of Manhattan. After months of cleaning and remodeling by volunteers, the building opened.SpecialtiesManhattan Arts Center offer Live Theatre, Live Music, Galleries, Classes and more.
