2015 PAC MAC Festival events start this weekend!
This year's festival will take place from October 2-11 in multiple venues in downtown Patchogue. Please see the updated schedule below.

PAC MAC 2015 Events Start Friday, October 2 

In 2014 The Patchogue Arts Council mounted its first ever PAC MAC Festival (Music Arts Cinema). Conceived as a way to unite and showcase the various artistic venues, movements, artists, and musicians in the Village of Patchogue, this enormous undertaking involved many collaborations and could not have been pulled off without support from the local community. A special thank you goes to all of this year's fiscal sponsors.

Once again PAC will collaborate with the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, the artist community at Artspace Patchogue Lofts, and Plaza Cinema and Media Arts Center.

This year's theme, "Pairings", will focus on the juxtaposition of contrasting or similar forms and media in pursuit of deeper meaning.
PAC MAC 2015 Signature Events include:
  • Outdoor sculptures and installations in the Patchogue Garden Club Garden and along the Roe Walkway
  • Exhibitions in multiple venues including Briarcliffe College Gallery, Patchogue Arts Council Gallery, Toast Coffeehouse, Roast Coffee & Tea Trading Co., the Patchogue Theater for the Performing Arts Lobby Gallery, the Gallery at Artspace, and the Gallery at Shand's Loft at the BrickHouse
  • Unique musical events scheduled at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts Lobby venue, the Congregational Church on Main St., and 89 North Music Venue
  • Short film and alternative video will be screened at Shands Loft at the Brickhouse
  • 2 for 1 tickets at Plaza Cinema and Media Arts Center with a PAC MAC catalog coupon
  • Herstory "Stories for Justice" reading at the Patchogue Theatre Lobby venue
  • Poetry and Prose at Roast Coffee and Tea Trading Co.
