MKAD the Midtown Kingston Arts District (formerly known as MAD) believes in the power of creative arts to be an agent of change. We serve the people of Midtown Kingston as a hub for collaborative relationships with individuals, artists, businesses, organizations and government to create positive change together.

Our mission is to provide access and support for the arts to advance, engage, unite, and enrich a vibrant community in Midtown Kingston.

We do this through our core programs:

• The DRAW Immersive Arts Education – Accessible, pay-what-you-can classes and workshops for all ages, fostering creativity, skill-building, and community connection.
• Neighborhood Print Studio – A community printmaking space and business incubator honoring Ben Wigfall’s legacy, offering professional resources and a collaborative workspace for artists.
• Youth Workforce Training Program – A paid work-study program for ages 15–24, providing arts industry skills, professional development, and creative career pathways.
