The Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center (MACC) is Sumner County’s premier arts organization. A nonprofit launched in 2017 and located in Hendersonville, Tenn., the MACC offers art classes, summer camps and stages world-class art exhibitions in our headquarters at Monthaven Mansion, a spectacular antebellum home built in the 1850s. Once serving as a field hospital during the Civil War, Monthaven’s galleries and halls now exist to create vibrant arts and cultural experiences for people of all ages. In addition to the art classes offered on site, Monthaven also offers outreach arts programs to our community. Some of the programs we partner with are; Cottage Cove, Children are People, Shalom Zone, Bledsoe, Grace Place and Hendersonville Library. Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center offers a FREE Healing Arts Program called “Between the Lines” to empower military veterans in Middle Tennessee who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and major depressive disorder. Our healing arts facilitators work with participants at American Legion Post 17 Veterans Residence in Gallatin, Veterans Recovery Center in Murfreesboro and other places to find creative ways to overcome depressive and anxious feelings.
