AboutMilton Art Center
The Organization
The Milton Art Center is a non-profit community organization offering art classes in person and online, locally taught. Our community art center, in operation since 2012, offers art classes, summer camp, workshops, and birthday parties in addition to providing community programming with art exhibits showcasing local emerging and established artists, music and comedy events with 120 seat capacity for an up-close, intimate event.
The Milton Art Center’s mission statement is “to educate, encourage and empower all to recognize the value art brings to our lives.”
The people who gravitate to the MAC, students, teachers, artists, artisans, musicians, performers and appreciators of the arts do recognize that art and music and community are essential to our quality of life. The arts bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion or age.
History
The Milton Art Center organization started in January 2012.
The lease was awarded in 2011 to FAVA, Friends and Advocates of the Visual Arts, a parents group unhappy with the lack of art programming in the public schools. FAVA was given permission in 2003 to run an after school art enrichment program in the public schools by then Assistant Superintendent, Mary Gormley. FAVA put in an RFP for the empty East Milton Library building and received a phone call in late December, 2010 from then Town Administrator, Kevin Mearn that FAVA had won the bid.
