WELCOME TO THE MACEDONIAN-AMERICAN CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL (MACE) CENTER
PLEASE CONTINUE TO VISIT OUR SITE AS WE UPDATE OUR CALENDAR OF EVENTS AND NEWS.

The Macedonian-American Cultural and Educational Center in Chicago, is organized exclusively for cultural, educational and charitable purposes, more specifically to preserve and strengthen the Macedonian identity and its values through engaging the Macedonian community in culturally rich and generationally diverse educational services, while expanding the community’s role in becoming a greater global participant.

Our vision is to create a collaborative environment where both those of Macedonian descent, and those not, can participate in the Center’s activities, events, classes and fundraisers. The MACE Center is also dedicated to embracing the diverse communities of the greater Chicago area and Northwest Indiana by partnering with local as well as nationwide organizations.

The goals which the Center sets to accomplish are:

• Chronicle and describe the uniqueness of the Macedonian American cultural experience.
• Support fellow members of the Diaspora.
• Promote public interest about Macedonia.
• Facilitate and encourage the presentation of Macedonian history and traditions.
• Partner with members outside of the Macedonian community to strengthen ties and create a mutually respectful relationship.
• Establish and maintain a permanent center that could include a library, museum, and concert hall.
• Strive to discover innovative programs and methods of promoting Macedonian culture.
• Other goals consistent with the mission statement.
