Exhibitions at the MMAC
The
Merced Multicultural Arts Center Galleries are a
contemporary visual arts space located in downtown
Merced, California. This 28,000 sq.’ interdisciplinary
fine arts and education facility also houses the
offices of the Merced County Arts Council, a non
profit 501c3 organization established in 1978 and
relocated into its brand new facility in 1996 through
a private/public partnership with the City of Merced.
The Exhibitions Program provides professional exhibition
opportunities in the heart of the Central Valley.
The
Merced Multicultural Arts Center Galleries seek
exhibition and diverse programming proposals from
artists, curators, and collection lenders.
The
Merced County Arts Council seeks artists primarily
from California and will give priority to work that
reflects the issues and lifestyle of the myriad
cultures represented in Merced County. We encourage
exhibits that lend to opportunities for community
engagement or educational components for K12 schools.
The Arts Council may design activities such as discussion
groups about the issue or a lecture about the technique
and strongly encourage the artists to participate.
Proposals
are open to all media including installation, new
media, and performance art. Work must have been
completed in the past three years unless part of
a thematic grouping or retrospectives. Artists may
also submit proposals for new works, providing samples
of work representative for review.
