Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center

The Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center (HMAC) is a multidisciplinary arts and cultural center located in Midtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It is located in the historic Police Athletic League building, which originally served as a Jewish Community Center, along north 3rd street about one mile (1.6 km) from the Pennsylvania State Capitol complex.
