McKinney Avenue Contemporary
Art Galleries
Directions
If you think Uptown is all dude-bros and overpriced high-rises, you’re wrong. Find some respite in the impressive art collection at the MAC, a nonprofit gallery that showcases everything from religious banners to contemporary works from local artists. They even have their own in-house theater group, Kitchen Dog Theater. Bonus: Admission is always free, in keeping with that whole not-for-profit thing.
