It has operated continuously for 34 years, hosting a broad range of entertainment, ranging through theatre, ballet and modern dance to contemporary music, experimental drama, children’s entertainment and film. The MEC is the home of the annual Taree and District Eisteddfod, one of the largest regional eisteddfods in Australia, and the Taree Arts Council, who were instrumental in the Centre’s creation.
