MAC was originally built in 1937 by visionary American artist and architect Jules André Smith, as an Artist colony for promising artists. The Art Center is highly decorated with murals, bas-reliefs, and carvings done in an Aztec/Mayan motif. This ornamentation is an integral part of the buildings, making the compound itself a work of art. Areas available are OUTDOOR ONLY for rentals and include the Main Garden, Chapel, and the Mayan Courtyard. Rates and Contract in pdf form click HERE.
