Donating to Mac

We provide an inclusive, supportive and encouraging environment at Mairangi Arts Centre that fosters community access to and participation in the visual arts by offering a strong and purposeful education and exhibition programme that meets the learning and presentation needs of the community. Our community outreach initiative also supports vulnerable youth and families with creative experiences and social interactions.

To be able to deliver these services to our community we rely heavily on fundraising and donations. All monetary support from the community goes a long way towards enabling us to run our extensive programme of art classes, exhibitions and programmes at fair prices.

Become a supporter of MAC – all donations are tax deductible.
