About OMAC
OMAC fosters a creative environment that allows aspiring artists to focus on their musical dreams. It is home to Sistema Aotearoa, a youth development programme, and the annual Stand Up Stand Out (SUSO) music and dance competition for Auckland secondary schools.
OMAC is one of only two local government-funded community facilities in New Zealand to boast an industry-standard professional recording studio.
In 2018, the centre celebrated 30 years of making, developing and inspiring music in south Auckland.
OMAC is an Auckland Council arts facility, supported by the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board.
