Launched in 2014, The Macopolitan, is a bimonthly, print/web community publication for Macomb and McDonough County. The Macopolitan—the Mac, if you like—is a project of Western Illinois Culture and Education (WICE), a 501(c)(3) organization established in 2012. The Macopolitan wishes to advance the idea that small-town living need not be boring, provincial, or predictable! Our content will focus on the local arts, cultural, education, recreation, and additional "quality of life" information that you care about. We'll strive to bring you thorough and timely listings of community events in these categories, as well as creative editorial content by and about the people doing interesting things in our community—your friends and neighbors. We hope the Macopolitan will enhance local vitality by providing the community with a regular, ongoing, and accessible forum in which to discover, promote, and explore its own creative stories. The Macopolitan staff receives direction and oversight from the WICE Board of Directors. WICE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
