At MKAC, we believe in the transformative power of artistic expression. Through dynamic events, thought-provoking exhibitions, and inspiring collaborations, we aim to nurture creativity, support local artists, and foster a thriving and diverse artistic community.
The Importance of Community Inclusivity
Art, music, and theater have the power to bring people together, and we want YOU—our community members—to be part of shaping Mount Kisco’s cultural future. MKAC is not just about showcasing art; it’s about listening to the voices of our residents and creating experiences that reflect our town’s rich diversity.

As we launch our 2025 season this April, our mission remains unwavering: to bring the benefits of nature to underserved populations.
Access Nature Project Mission:
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature. Our goal is to empower participants to build self-sufficiency, equipping them with the tools and confidence to enjoy nature outings independently. By fostering these connections, we provide a lifelong resource for well-being and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
Looking Ahead to 2025:
In my third season with ANP, I am more passionate than ever about expanding our reach and impact. This season, we are focused on ensuring that more individuals from underserved communities can access the transformative power of nature. Through innovative programs, meaningful partnerships, and collaborative efforts, we aim to make the great outdoors more inclusive and accessible to all.
Stay tuned for exciting updates as we embark on another incredible year of connection, growth, and discovery!
