The Magic City Art Connection (MCAC), Birmingham’s long-running spring arts festival, returns for its 42nd year April 25-27. Set against the striking backdrop of Sloss Furnaces, this three-day event brings together more than 150 juried fine artists from across the region and country. Visitors can expect a weekend filled with art, culture, food and community — all in celebration of creativity in its many forms.

Founded on the mission to create, inspire, educate and collect, MCAC has become a major cultural tradition in Birmingham. With thousands of works on display in a wide variety of styles, mediums and price points, the festival is designed for both seasoned collectors and those just beginning their art journey.

Local painter Vicki Denaburg, who has taken part in MCAC for more than 15 years, describes the event’s lasting impact. “I look forward to MCAC every year,” Denaburg said. “I’m local and love interacting with the supportive patrons year after year. It’s amazing how many new people I continue to meet.”
