Multicultural Arts Center

The Multicultural Arts Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering diversity and understanding through visual and performing arts. Established in 1978, we have been committed to providing a platform for diverse populations to showcase their talents and cultures. Our home at 41 Second Street in East Cambridge, MA, has been a haven for artists and groups seeking a professionally equipped and accessible facility to share their art with the world.

Our Mission is to present multicultural visual and performing arts programs that educate the community about diversity. We strive to make our facility available to artists or groups that might not otherwise have access to a professionally equipped facility or the cultural mainstream. Our programming aims to bring together people of all backgrounds to celebrate the beauty and richness of our diverse world.
