The Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (NiMAC) is situated within the Old Powerhouse (power station), an exemplary model of industrial architecture that received the prestigious 'Europa Nostra' award in 1994 after its restoration.

At its core, NiMAC aims to promote fine arts in Cyprus, making it the oldest and most significant establishment of its kind on the island. The center boasts a spacious exhibition area where it houses a collection of rare and specialized publications for art enthusiasts. Additionally, NiMAC has been instrumental in showcasing numerous exhibitions featuring modern and contemporary art, often featuring acclaimed artists from both Cyprus and abroad. Many of these exhibitions have been organized in collaboration with prominent museums, art centers, and cultural institutions across Europe and other countries. It is noteworthy that NiMAC shares an association with the Pierides Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens.
