This is not just a ticket.It is a night out, a work of art in motion, and a direct investment in the future of the McMillan Arts Centre.
On Saturday, June 20 at 7:00 pm, the MAC comes alive for Rock Around the MAC — an unforgettable fundraising evening in support of the MAC TO THE FUTURE capital campaign.
For one night only, the galleries, garden, music, food, art, and community spirit of the MAC come together in a celebration of everything this building makes possible.
Your $100 donation ticket helps protect and renew one of Parksville’s most beloved arts landmarks — a home for artists, students, musicians, makers, audiences, and community gatherings.
What Your Evening Includes
Live music by The Apollos
Dance, mingle, and enjoy the cool grooves of one of the region’s favourite live bands.
Live Artist Project
Watch four abstract artists create original works of art before your eyes. The paint will be fresh, the energy will be electric, and the finished pieces will become part of the story of the night.
Live-streaming silent auction
Bid on exceptional donated items, including Blue Rodeo VIP Tix, Cirque du Soleil tickets, Robert Held glass art, Dan Gray pastel artwork, PKS Outdoor Theatre concert tickets, stunning artwork by Kelly Corbett, and much more.
Tapas and bar service
Enjoy small bites, good company, and a cash bar featuring the famous MAC Martini.
Living Frame photo experience
Step into a one-of-a-kind photo opportunity in the MAC Community Garden, featuring body-painted artists and a living work of art you can become part of.
Why This Night Matters
The MAC is more than a building.
It is where children take their first art classes.
Where seniors gather, learn, and create.
Where local artists are seen.
Where music fills the room.
Where community has a place to breathe.
Now the MAC needs its community to show up.
Funds raised from this event support the MAC TO THE FUTURE capital fundraiser, helping preserve and strengthen the McMillan Arts Centre for the next generation.
All auction items have been donated by artists and supporters, and all proceeds go directly to the fundraiser.
Limited Tickets Available
This is an intimate, high-energy fundraising evening with a limited number of tickets available.
Your $100 ticket reserves your place at the event and helps keep the MAC alive, vibrant, and ready for the future.
Come for the music.
Come for the art.
Come for the tapas, the auction, the garden, and the MAC Martini.
But most of all — come because this place matters.
Rock the night. Raise the roof. Help carry the MAC into the future.
