In celebration, the Mac will be hosting a 25th anniversary gala Wednesday, November 2nd. From what we can tell, it has been a huge impact on the community. That's what we like to see in arts education and tourism, and it was definitely put here for a reason. It's a staple of the community and the region for the last 25 years with the multitude of diverse programming that's been through these doors. We've been on the stage for 25 years and the past executive directors and staff and partners have just done an excellent job of keeping the Mac on the Mac for all the state and region to know about. The gala will include several guest speakers, dinner and live music. It will also reflect on the history of the center and its impact on the community. A lot better off than a lot of other venues, our size and like our venue. We just feel it's time.
