The Milford Arts Council, the MAC is a 501c3 non-profit member organization, certified in 1972. It stemmed from a community-wide survey conducted by the office of the mayor in 1970/71, asking residents what they wanted to see in their town. First, as a grassroots group meeting in homes, churches, business lobbies, and school gymnasiums, the group selected the abandoned earthbound train station as its permanent home, now called the MAC, and opened in 1995. We are the only organization in the state that supports and presents every discipline of the arts for all ages and demographics.
The MAC is located in downtown Milford at 40 Railroad Ave. It IS the eastbound train station! A performance and presentation space, it is also home to staff offices. We are accessible by car, bus, train, foot and boat, all within 2 blocks along the town green and surrounded by shops and restaurants.
The Firehouse Gallery is located in the Walnut Beach neighborhood, just a block up from the beach. It is a gallery/workshop space used for MAC exhibits, rental pop-shops and private events. It is a community hub where meetings are held for MAC committees and neighborhood groups.
All ticket purchases are non-refundable and include fees, whether paid by card, check or cash. Member discounts are available for specific events.
