MLCC is proud to host the Maricopa Arts Council's Inside the Creative Mind Winter 2025 Lecture Series!
Artist Janna Blackburn is an Abstract Master whose work is widely exhibited throughout the Southwest. Her works have won many prizes, including in MAC’s Abstract Art Contest 2024, and her local exhibitions include juried galleries and MAC’s first MAC at MAC Gallery. When she's not immersed in the creative process, she enjoys riding Harleys with her husband and nurturing her vibrant garden. She is a firm believer in the power of art as a mirror to society, and through her work, she weaves a narrative filled with emotion, strength, and resilience.
The Maricopa Library and Cultural Center was first conceived back in 1955, when local citizens discovered Library Extension had books to loan. Volunteer-led for nearly 5 decades, MLCC matured along with the city of Maricopa, opening a state of the art building in 2021. Offerings include material check outs, computer usage, passport services, print/copy services, reference, and programs galore led by a hardworking team of dedicated library professionals. There’s even a USPS-contracted postal unit within the library, making it an easy way to complete life’s errands. Fulfilling a critical need for gathering spaces within the city, nearly half of the MLCC is carved out for meeting rooms for community groups, clubs, and quiet study. There is something for every member of the family at the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center!
