Thank you for your interest in the MAC.
Located in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, we’re much more than an arts venue — we’re a space for exploration, connection, and change. The MAC is a trusted space where all ages, backgrounds, and abilities come together to create, enjoy, and engage with outstanding art. Through our partnerships with local, national, and international artists, community organisations, and funders, we reflect and celebrate the diversity of Belfast and beyond.
We present a year-round programme of visual arts, live performances, and creative learning, welcoming over 250,000 visitors annually. Our values of creativity, excellence, collaboration, and inclusion drive everything we do, from the exhibitions in our galleries to the experiences we craft with our partners. We envision a society where creativity is celebrated, diversity is embraced, and the arts are central to community life.
The MAC is a Charity with a wholly owned trading subsidiary. Each entity is governed by a Board. We now wish to appoint additional Trustees (to the Charity Board) and Directors (to the Trading Company Board).
