ZACC Missoula Summer CMAO: A Celebration of Arts and Culture

As the summer season approaches, the Zootown Arts Community Center (ZACC) is gearing up for a thrilling lineup of events that will captivate audiences of all ages. From cover bands to monster mashes, there's something for everyone at this iconic Missoula institution.

To kick off the ROCKtober Volume II cover bands event on October 26th, ZACC will host an unforgettable night featuring local talents and rock out to some of the best hits from the past few decades. But that's not all - the inaugural Monster Mash Bash for adults in the Event Center promises to be a spook-tacular evening filled with dancing, laughter, and fun.

The CoEd Rock Campers' first performance is also on the horizon, showcasing the talents of young musicians who have been honing their skills at ZACC's renowned music camps. And, art enthusiasts will delight in the 5th annual Missoula Monster Project opening in the Main Gallery, featuring an impressive display of creative works from local and regional artists.

But ZACC is more than just a hub for entertainment - it's also a thriving arts organization that provides a space for creatives to express themselves. The new multi-use center offers state-of-the-art facilities, including a large Theater and Event Center with a standing capacity of 350 and seating for up to 175 people. The Bill and Rosemary Gallagher Hands-On Youth Art Experience Center is another exciting feature, offering a whimsical atmosphere where kids can explore their artistic side.

The Main Gallery and Youth Art Gallery already showcase an impressive selection of exhibits, while the pottery and multi-art room provides ample space for creatives to unleash their inner artist. And with its bright, spacious design and natural lighting, it's no wonder ZACC has become a beloved gathering place for Missoula residents and visitors alike.

But what makes this community center truly special is its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. Thanks to the tireless efforts of ZACC staff and supporters, the new building has been designed to meet the needs of all programs, making it an inclusive space for people of all ages and abilities.

'We are strong enough that nobody can break us down now that we have our own building,' said ZACC director Liszak, her voice filled with emotion as she reflected on the journey that brought this vision to life. And with its grand opening just around the corner, it's clear that ZACC is more than ready to take center stage and shine.

So mark your calendars for a summer of fun, art, music, and community at ZACC Missoula. Whether you're an artist, musician, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of creativity, there's something for everyone at this vibrant institution. Let the celebration begin!
