Welcome to the Menino Arts Center (MAC) in Hyde Park, MA, the home of the Hyde Park Art Association, a 501(c)(3) organization. Due to the success and longevity (1988) of HPAA, the city of Boston gifted the organization with a permanent home at 26 Central Avenue in Hyde Park. We are on the 2nd floor of the George Robert White Fund Resource Center in Logan Square.  We are literally the “center in the square”.

The Menino Arts Center serves the neighborhood of Hyde Park, greater Boston and its suburban counterparts. With over 4,000 square feet of space, the MAC is home to a large classroom, seven affordable artist work studios, three galleries, a library and resource center, an auditorium and our organization’s home offices.

There’s something here for everyone, at any age. 12 months a year we present art, music, workshops, demonstrations, lectures and special events, at our facility and off site.
