It’s been a very lucky seven years that I’ve
had the honor of directing MAC. Thanks
to the incredible support of community
members like you, our nonprofit association
has helped renovate the MAC gallery,
the metals, ceramics, printmaking and visual arts studios, and
created one of the city’s most beautiful murals in our lobby.
Now our focus is turning to the performing arts! Please take
a look at page 42 to learn more about our immediate plans to
bring SW Portland a greatly enhanced auditorium and a new
performing arts space in the dance studio. Then, seriously
consider supporting MACA as we embark on our biggest
journey yet. Go to www.MultnomahArtsCenter.org/donate
now. We can do it with your support!

Family Classes
Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to
honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use
of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child
wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean–up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

Visual Art Classes for Youth
Most materials are included in youth art classes. Unless otherwise stated, parents and guardians are not to attend class but
should stay in the building until their child is comfortable. Please have children dress for mess and be ready for a good time!
Clay students/parents please read the “Youth Clay Studio Policy” available on our website. Clay work must be picked up during your class
time or during open clay studio times only. Please allow 10 days from the last class to pick up your child’s work. This allows for firing time.
After 3 weeks from the last class, the work will be recycled (due to limited storage space).
