MDAC, located in the Read’s ArtSpace building in downtown Bridgeport, CT, is an exciting, unique and new initiative by The Kennedy Center designed to provide an innovative environment where individuals with disabilities can learn, create, and benefit by participating in a multi-faceted arts program.
MDAC opened in May 2014. The cooperative has proved to be an exciting and unique initiative adding to the cultural fabric of Bridgeport and bringing vitality, creativity, and new constituencies to join in the arts. Located in the former Read’s building #11, MDAC’s artists with intellectual disabilities have made connections with neighbors, businesses, universities, museums, and art councils forming innovative partnerships to celebrate the universal language of art. At MDAC, opportunities abound for artists to delve into an array of arts to include photography, theater, music, movement, painting, sculpture and more.
