The Multicultural Arts Center in Merced is an unwelcoming place. As the coordinator of a Latinx pop…read moreup market in the Central Valley, I experienced very unprofessional and rude behavior from Kat, the centers manager. Not only did I experience this behavior but also several of the Latinx vendors that were present that day at the event. They felt so unwelcome and experienced such rude and unprofessional behavior they expressed they would not vend at the MAC in the future. I have coordinated many events in various multicultural centers, art galleries and private venues and have never encountered the level of unprofessionalism that I encountered at this location. After the event, I messaged the executive director of the center to explain my experience and that of the vendors. My message was completely ignored, further convincing me they do not care about the experience of those who visit, attend and participate in events at the center.

Whether you're going solo, catching up with friends or planning a fun date night, it's a great way to spend a few hours. My friend and I dropped in and did a Glaze+Go. They have several options to pick from. They also offer different workshops and can host private events. The staff will email you once your masterpiece is ready for pick up. Keep in mind that you'll need to be in the area to pick up when ready. Overall, I highly recommended you're looking for a unique, low-stress activity that is both fun and therapeutic.

I would totally bring him here often but the hours are a little problematic for us. His nap time usually starts anywhere from 11-12 and they don't open until 11 most days. He does much better in the mornings than in the afternoons in terms of mood and listening skills. I wish they could have at least one day a week where they opened at 9am for the little ones, but if not, then I guess we'll see if he's still into it after he drops his naps in the future.
