Did you know that MPA's ArtReach program helps to fill the art gap for Special Education students in Fairfax County Public Schools?
The ArtReach program provides art enrichment in the classroom as well as gallery visits offering tours and hands on projects in our intimate gallery setting. Longfellow Middle School, McLean and Langley High School's special education classes are regular visitors.
Below are Longfellow Middle School teacher Ms. Joann Nelson and some of her students working on a "butterfly mapping collage" in response to the Jeremy Drummond and Michael Mansfield exhibitions.
