PAC MAC is BACK!
October 2-11, 2015
PAC MAC (music, arts, cinema festival) 2015 will once again unite the various artistic movements in Patchogue during a week long festival including gallery exhibits, outdoor sculpture, musical happenings, and cinema throughout the downtown. 

The Patchogue Arts Council (PAC) has launched a campaign to raise the funds needed for PAC MAC 2015 and we need your help. 

In 2014 PAC MAC was financed in part by a $25,000 Suffolk County Downtown Destination Grant. Due to changes in the criteria PAC MAC was not eligible for 2015... which means fundraising efforts have started at $0. 

Thankfully, in the past few weeks many of you have begun to contribute and PAC MAC funding is starting to grow.

There are two ways that you can help. Please read below for details...

Thank you for your continued support. PAC could not thrive without you!
How can you help PAC MAC 2015?

First, you can join PAC on Wednesday, August 12 from 6:00-10:00 PM at 
An Evening of Food and Wine - A Celebration of the Culinary Arts, where you can sample tasty selections from Patchogue's best restaurants while enjoying fine wine, craft beer, and great music. 

An Evening of Food and Wine will be a celebration of the culinary arts in Patchogue. Tickets are $50, and all proceeds are to benefit the Patchogue Arts Council's 2015 PAC MAC Festival and the Patchogue Restaurant Community Fund. The event will be held at 89 North Music Venue, 89 N. Ocean Ave., Patchogue. 


Second, you can make a contribution to PAC's indiegogo fundraising campaign. We have a long way to go and a lot of money to raise. Please consider making a financial contribution that is meaningful to you at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-2015-pac-mac-festival-music-arts-cinema#/story.

Last, but not least, you can share this information with those you know and encourage them to join you in supporting PAC. With many people contributing just a few bucks each we will reach our goal in no time!  Thank you again for you support of the arts in your community.
