Share Your Time. Support the Arts.

Gallery sitters help bring the Machias Arts Center to life by welcoming visitors, sharing the work of local artists, and helping create a friendly, engaging environment for everyone who visits.

​

Gallery sitting is one of the ways MAC members can get involved, connect with the community, and support the artists and programs that make the Arts Center special.

​

No special experience is needed — just a willingness to greet guests, enjoy the artwork, and help visitors feel welcome.
