Hello!
The MAC has been providing free art instruction to kiddos in our community since we opened our doors in 2017. Our free after-school program came into being soon after.

Our program traditionally meets once a week for an hour to create together. It was open to any school age child who could reach us by the beginning of our class time.

When the pandemic hit in March we immediately started up our free craft kits. Once a week we loaded up anywhere between 20-70 bags with materials. We built a new cabinet out front of our building with the help of Robert Lovsey Jr out of Benld, IL. Our cabinet not only housed the free craft kits, but also we were able to share materials that we have an abundance of to our community.

This service is provided free to every kiddo that desires it.

We do need help to fund this project for the kiddos of the community. We will have 32 weeks of free crafts per calendar year. Each week with new useful materials that the kiddo will be able to use for our specific craft, but also they can use these materials at home to create self-directed artworks. We want to make sure our kiddos have the tools they need in order to make art.

Donate now to help us find this project!
