Community is the MAC’s theme for this Summer, as we debut our newly redesigned seasonal booklet that you are holding in your hands. As a community-focused organization, the MAC is here to connect people through art, culture, and history. This coming season we have especially rich offerings led by an engaging group of exhibitions that celebrate community in different ways. Through It Happened Here: Expo ’74 Fifty Years After and 1924: Sovereignty, Leadership, and the Indian Citizenship Act , we mark the anniversaries of two pivotal events in this city’s history and explore the influence both have had on the Inland Northwest in the years since. For Driving the American Dream: 1970s Car Design , we have connected with car collectors and clubs in Spokane, working with our community to make this exhibition a celebration of design through the lens of a decade that was challenging on many fronts. May 31–June 2, we’ll welcome thousands of people from all over the region to the MAC’s 39th annual ArtFest. During this award-winning festival, people will gather here on the museum’s campus to support local artists while enjoying food, drink, and a bigger-than-ever lineup of live, local music. Our exhibitions and the educational programs and events we create are invitations, and we welcome every person who lives in and visits the Inland Northwest to learn and grow here, together, with us.
