ABOUT US
A registered charity (SC028270), Moray Art Centre, for the last 20 years, has offered an annual programme of local and international exhibitions and events alongside a full programme of workshops for all levels.
Each year during July and August the centre hosts a vibrant Summer School taught by award winning artists and tutors and attracting both local art enthusiasts and international visitors.
After the worldwide challenges of 2020, we entered into a new phase of our evolution by selling and sharing the centre building with Ekopia Social Investments Limited. MAC can now continue to run our many in-person and online classes, workshops and Summer School while exhibiting work in the beautiful gallery spaces. Ekopia manages the art studios and converted the rest of the building into a fun and welcoming community arts café with an outdoor, sheltered space.
MAC is a vibrant and motivating organisation that allows people to be part of a community of like-minded people. Our spaces provide a relaxing, artistic environment that foster creativity and education for all ages, making art accessible to all.
OUR MISSION
- We aim to provide a safe space in which people can express their creativity.
- We aim to provide a springboard for young artists to earn practical skills, explore their talent and sell their work.
- No artistic media is considered over others – theatre, sculpture, music, movement, painting and more – all are welcome!
- We recognise and celebrate the rich local culture throughout Moray and the North of Scotland.
- We champion local artists and their talents.
- We engage with local and national organisations to ensure that there are no social barriers to art and creativity in Moray.
