MISSION

Mercer University’s McEachern Art Center seeks to advance emerging artists and offer our community a place to contemplate art with care. Our exhibitions prioritize contemporary art and include free open programming and admission.

-ABOUT THE MAC-

Established in 2019, The McEachern Art Center, commonly called The MAC, is Mercer University’s dynamic contemporary art space located in downtown Macon, Georgia. It functions both as a public art gallery and as a creative hub for students and community members alike. 

A Place for Artistic Exploration

While The MAC hosts exhibitions featuring contemporary art, it also serves as a platform for students from Mercer University’s Art + Design Department to show work, experiment, and engage with the broader art world outside traditional classrooms. This space offers:

• Museum-quality gallery exhibition space that are free and open to the public

• An additional small, exhibition space enclosed for installation and video

• Working studios and dedicated areas where students create, develop, and refine their artistic practice 

• Projects that support professional development, including curated shows, markets, and artist talks 

The “Front Porch” of the Art & Design Department

The MAC is often described as Mercer University’s “front porch” downtown — a welcoming, accessible space where the University’s art and design community connects with the public. It’s meant to be a place of reflection, conversation, and creative exchange that bridges campus life with the Macon arts scene.

-Sales and Proceeds-

We strive to be one of the only galleries in the downtown Macon community that does not take commission from sales.

Our mission is simple: support artist success first. Every dollar from a sale goes directly to the artist, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable creative careers and a thriving arts community.
