In order to protect the health and safety of our community, we have cancelled summer programming through August 31, 2020, including all on-site classes and activities, and our annual Arts Festival.

We are exploring ways to pivot our programming to an online platform. Look for GMAC on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find information and ways to engage.

Just after sunset, around 9pm, look to the northwest sky, close to the horizon. One way to pinpoint the comet is to find the Big Dipper due north,  high in the sky – this time of year the Dipper hangs down – and trace a line following the bottom of the ladle to your right. As each night passes, the comet will appear higher above the horizon.
