What is the difference between MCA and MSAC?
While MCA (Maryland Citizens for the Arts) and the MSAC (Maryland State Arts Council) both work to advance the arts in Maryland, they are very distinct organizations. • MSAC is an agency of the Maryland state government, created by legislation in 1967. The agency awards grants to nonprofit organizations for ongoing arts programs and projects. They also award grants to individual artists and provide technical assistance to individuals and groups. • MCA is an independent non-profit advocacy organization. We do not grant funds to any individual or organization, nor are we affiliated with any state or local government.
