The City of Milford’s premier non-profit arts organization since 1972, Milford Arts Council supports and presents every discipline of the arts to audiences of all ages. They have been offering art and photo exhibits, theatre, music, lectures, classes, written word, dance, and other arts experiences for 50 years.

Their VISION is to see creativity happening everywhere, making Milford a thriving destination community of arts and culture. Their MISSION is to provide audiences, students, and artists with opportunities and experiences in the arts that enlighten, enrich, and entertain.

The MAC's main venue and home to staff is located in the heart of downtown Milford, CT in a repurposed historic Civil War-era train station.

The MAC offers a beautiful theater with superior acoustics, intimate seating for up to 110 in theater or cabaret-style configuration, a projection theater system with a 10X20’ drop screen, exhibition area, classroom, offices, kitchenette and a Speakeasy Lounge for concessions.

It's so convenient to pop into the MAC any time. They are easily accessible by car, bus, rail, or even boat! Plenty of parking for cars, busses come right into downtown Milford, they are the closest stop on the Metro North rail because they ARE the train station, and Milford Harbor is right down the block. 

Milford Arts Council also oversees the Firehouse Gallery in Walnut Beach. The gallery opened in 2002 and offers a bright exhibition space for themed shows, visiting artists, a writing group, workshops, demonstrations, and more. The gallery is surrounded by a vibrant arts and business district and it's only two blocks from the Long Island Sound.

We’re happy to partner with The MAC to make this year’s Porchfest even better.
