The Mizel Arts & Culture Center
The MACC operates the arts and culture programs that take place at the JCC campus. The MACC is a separate non-profit organization charged with a mission that is focused more specifically on the arts. This allows the Center to apply for many arts specific grants that improve the quality and scope of cultural offerings to our patrons. Our facilities include the 300 seat Shwayder Theatre, the 100 seat Pluss Theatre, a preschool theatre classroom, the Singer Art Gallery, the Cooper Art Gallery, an art studio and a ceramics studio.
The Mizel Arts and Culture Center illuminates the human experience through creative and cultural programs in the performing, visual, and literary arts for the Jewish community and the community at large. We strive to produce, present, exhibit, advance and preserve the arts, serving as a performance and exhibition venue and as an educational resource for people at every stage of life.
Major MACC programs include:
- Singer Art Gallery: Five major professional visual art exhibitions per year.
- Leah Cohen Festival of Jewish Books and Authors:A three-week book festival in November/December that includes an author lecture series. Last year 10 nationally known authors presented lecture events.

- Denver Children’s Theatre: Adult actors performing for children in a season running from March through May for school and public audiences. This program also includes a hands-on theatre workshop program for some students following our performance. This year’s production, Sleeping Beauty, is a new adaptation of the classic fairy tale.
