What is MPAC?

A woman with curly brown hair and a light blue dress is sitting at a table, smiling, with her hand resting on her chin. A man with glasses, a hat, and tattoos on his arms is leaning over the table, smiling at the camera. The table has art supplies including paint bottles, and there is colorful artwork on the wall behind them, along with a sign for a festival or event.

MPAC is the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge’s annual fundraising event and biggest celebration of the year. This is not a sit-down gala. It’s a high-energy, immersive night where Music, Performance, Art, and Community collide in unexpected ways.
