The Maple Grove Arts Center is a 501c3 nonprofit arts center.

Our mission is: To inspire creativity, foster community and enrich lives through art.

The arts center’s vision: To become a vibrant inclusive arts center, developing artistic passion to empower our community.

The Maple Grove Arts Center (MGAC) has two fine arts gallery areas, space for creating art and arts education. Art classes include offerings for emerging, novice and established artists. The center features 6-8 theme based curated art shows per year, each with opening night events.

MGAC features a variety of artists and creative activities for both adults and youth. We also offer a variety of art camps during summer months.

MGAC outreach programming includes the Arbor Lakes Art Fair held in July and Business of Art (art shown in area businesses). Also the District 279 Student Art Show held at the Maple Grove Government Center, during which, MGAC presents the Jacob Beneke Arts Scholarship to a graduating senior that will study art in college.
