Arts for ALL

Manhattan Arts Center (MAC) is a community-focused arts organization dedicated to providing accessible performances, classes, and exhibitions for audiences of all ages. They serve as a hub for performances, class registration, ticket sales, volunteer opportunities, and membership support.

The previous site presented several challenges, including limited mobile responsiveness, difficult navigation, and complex back-end management. The MAC team wanted a streamlined, user-friendly platform that better represents the organization’s “Arts for All” mission and encourages engagement through donations, volunteering, and class participation.

Our redesign focused on:

• Improved Navigation & UX: Simplified menus, clearer user pathways, and an intuitive layout that helps visitors quickly find performances, classes, tickets, and volunteer opportunities.

• Event & Class Management: Integration with Sawyer for class registration, a robust calendar system, and ticketing via Tix to centralize all scheduling and enrollment.

• Media & Gallery Features: Dynamic galleries to showcase exhibitions, performances, and community engagement, along with photo support for testimonials and promotional content.

• Sponsor & Partner Recognition: Highlighting sponsors, grants, and supporting businesses with easy-to-update logo placements and visibility across the site.

• Accessibility & Multilingual Support: Optimized for mobile devices and including a Spanish-language option to broaden audience reach.

The updated site provides an accessible hub for the Manhattan Arts Center, making it easy for audiences, students, and community members to explore performances, register for classes, volunteer, and support the arts. Designed around MAC’s vibrant personality and “Arts for All” mission, the site invites every visitor to engage with and experience the center’s creative offerings.
