The Murphy Fine Arts Center is named for Carl J. Murphy, a Baltimore-born educator, publisher, journalist, and civil rights activist. He was also the first African-American to serve on the Morgan State (then) College's Board of Regents. The Murphy Fine Arts Center (MFAC) is a modern, state-of-the-art facilities for the performing and visual arts communities to showcase their talents. MFAC's performance spaces ably accommodate performers and productions who play to 'thousands" at a time. . . to acts who prefer the intimate settings of studio theatre or recital hall venues. MFAC's complete package includes four performance spaces; talent/crew expertise that rival the offerings at Baltimore's downtown performance venues; and a museum with art objects valued in excess of $10 million. The centerpiece of this great venue is the James H. and Louise Hayley Gilliam Concert Hall, with seating for over 2,000. With the Gilliam Concert Hall, and three other performance spaces, MFAC is able to mount a wider range of productions than any other facility in Baltimore. The James E. Lewis Museum of Art - also within the walls of MFAC - is built to house touring art exhibitions of many genres. The ticket office is open Mon-Fri 10A-6P and Saturdays 10A-4P.
