Hello and welcome
My name is Leah and I’m the Artist Convenor at Moray Art Centre (MAC). I work closely with artists and tutors who choose to exhibit their work, or teach a creative workshop at MAC.
Below you can find all of our upcoming workshops, from 6-week evening workshops, to Taster experiences. There really is something for everyone.
Our 5-day Summer School is running again this year, a long-standing calendar highlight which draws an international audience.
We look forward to seeing you at MAC.
