Welcome to MPA's New Online Newsletter

by McLean Project for the Arts

Welcome to MPAartnews!

In an effort to be “green” (and to trim our budget), we have made the decision to stop printing and mailing our newsletter.  But, we hope that you will enjoy our new quarterly online version—it will feature the latest happenings at McLean Project for the Arts with lots of pictures and with the occasional video clip—it’s a more interactive way to learn what’s new at MPA.*

Thanks to your generous donations and our ongoing cost-cutting measures, MPA continues to weather the economic storm.  Recently, the MPA Spring Benefit reached its fundraising goal of $90,000 to support MPA’s annual expenses for its exhibitions and educational programs!  We are truly grateful to all who contributed and to those who braved the damp, cold evening to come and celebrate with us. We thank Windows Catering Company too for their spectacular service and delicious food.  Read more in the article below and view some great pictures from the evening, with special thanks to Jennifer Berman of Ashton Imaging for donating her time and talent.  There is also a link to her site if you’d like to see or purchase the pictures.

We have good news about MPAartfest 2010 coming to McLean Central Park on October 3rd:  Supervisor John Foust and his wife Marilyn have agreed to serve as Honorary Co-Chairs of the event, and the McLean Community Foundation is our sponsor for the Children’s ArtWalk at MPAartfest again this year.

Read all about it here.  I hope you enjoy our first edition of MPAartnews!
