Maine Center for the Arts

The Maine Center for the Arts (MCA) is a concert hall and museum located on the campus of the University of Maine at Orono, Maine, USA. It has been operating since 1986, hosting both local and national artists.

It is the home of the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, the oldest continually-operating community orchestra in the US, founded in 1896. The UMaine performing arts groups are also based there. Performers such as Garrison Keillor, George Carlin, and the Dave Matthews Band have done shows there, and Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Paul Rusesabagina have given lectures.

The MCA is also home to the Hudson Museum, which specializes in Native American history and art.
