Music & Arts Community Center
A home for community and the arts, where music is always at the center.
The Gulf Coast Symphony opened the Music & Arts Community Center (MACC) in January 2021 with a vision: to create a home for community and the arts, where music is always at the center.
The MACC is a dynamic, intimate space where diverse programming, professional theater, and meaningful connections thrive. Here, audiences experience everything from jazz, classical, and chamber music to cabaret, comedy, theater, and national touring acts. It’s also home to youth programs, MusicWorks!, jazz ensembles, and summer camps, ensuring that the next generation of artists grows in the same space where world-class performances happen.
Located in Fort Myers, the MACC has quickly become one of the area’s most unique cultural landmarks — a place where community is built through the arts and every visit feels special.
An Intimate Theater Experience
With 300 seats, the MACC combines state-of-the-art acoustics and professional staging with an intimate atmosphere that makes every performance feel personal. No matter where you sit, you’ll enjoy a clear view and outstanding sound — there truly isn’t a bad seat in the house.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the difference: handicapped accessible seating, step-free access, wide aisles, and plentiful free parking just steps away.
The result is a venue built for comfort, connection, and community — where audiences feel close to the art, and artists feel connected to their audience.
Your Destination for the Arts
Conveniently located off Daniels Parkway, just minutes from I-75, the MACC is easy to reach from anywhere in Southwest Florida. With ample free parking, accessible seating, and a welcoming atmosphere, your visit is designed to be as enjoyable as the performance itself.
