Hearts of Machias: Art with Heart

A community exhibition that celebrated local creativity while supporting neighbors in need.

The Machias Arts Council extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited, shared, and supported our Hearts of Machias exhibition. Throughout the month-long exhibit, the gallery was filled with creativity, connection, and community spirit.

Thanks to artwork purchases and generous food donations brought to the gallery, MAC was able to provide both a financial contribution and a collection of non-perishable items to the Machias Food Pantry.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make this meaningful community effort possible and encourage continued support of this important local resource.
