Exhibitions

The Madison Arts Commission (MAC) presents exhibitions in several public buildings. Spaces include waiting areas, service counters, conference rooms, hallways, and public offices. MAC selects artwork through either competitive open calls or invited guest curators. Our exhibition program is a service to the Madison community. There are no application or space rental fees.
