Milford Arts Council Celebrates 50 Years Of Intimate Arts Experiences with Anniversary Gala Fundraiser

The Milford Arts Council, the MAC is celebrating 50 years of service to the greater Milford community presenting and supporting the arts to the public with intimate experiences since 1972.

Certified by the state of Connecticut as a 501(c)3, the MAC oversees two venues, the mainstage (The MAC) inside the historic eastbound train station in the heart of downtown Milford for theatre, concerts, comedy, exhibits, lectures, dance and main offices. And the Firehouse Gallery in Walnut Beach, host to exhibits, workshops and pop-shops.

Paige Miglio, MAC Executive Director says: "We did the research and we are the only arts organization that presents and supports every discipline of art! The MAC is a very special space, our brand of intimate experiences make the audience feel part of the show, whether it be a play, concert or exhibition. We are very excited to bring this magical feeling to the party of the year on September 10th! We can't wait to see you there!"
