The Marion Art Center continues its annual giving campaign through the holiday season. As a nonprofit organization, the MAC relies on funding from individuals and businesses in the community. The MAC has received generous support from members and donors during this difficult year, and we’re on our way to reaching our 2020 goal. Help the MAC hit the mark by sending in your donation of any size through our easy-to-use online form at marionartcenter.org/support. Your donation of $5, $50, or $5,000 will help sustain the MAC during the months ahead while we prepare to be fully operational again. We also accept gifts of securities. In the meantime, we will continue to offer reimagined programs and events while we await the safe reopening of our beloved theater, music, and children’s programs.
As our way of saying thank you, the MAC will roll out several virtual holiday offerings within the coming weeks to celebrate the season and the generosity of our donors. In December, we’ll feature a homemade snow globe project video tutorial with Benares Angeley of Childrens’ Art Lab at the MAC; a Winter Wonders family-friendly performance by Jackson Gillman – participatory songs and stories about shoveling, snowmen, snow angels, and nature in winter; a portion of the Tri-County Symphonic Band’s holiday concert, The Grinch, performed by Phil Sanborn and company; and John Heavey’s (Tabor Academy) recorded annual reading of The Grinch in a storytelling format. Programs will be released in mid-December. Stay tuned at marionartcenter.org.
