Madison Arts & Cultural Alliance
www.madisonartsnj.org
Madison Arts & Cultural Alliance (MACA) is a coalition of arts organizations, cultural institutions, neighbors, colleagues, and friends dedicated to encouraging collaborations among the wide-ranging cultural offerings in "the Rose City."
MACA facilitates exciting new connections, strategic partnerships, and creative collaborations – frequently between people and institutions whose paths otherwise might not have crossed. It brings together artists, arts administrators, educators, parents, businesspeople, community leaders and others, all with a common goal: to support the cultural institutions and programs that have such a positive impact on Madison's economy and quality of life.
The Alliance evolved out of a roundtable of artists which meets every Wednesday for coffee and conversation. Modeled after the famous Algonquin Roundtable of the 1920s, the Nautilus Roundtable is regularly attended by MACA members as well as other supporters of our local arts and culture community, and serves as a creative resource for MACA.
