ArtReach Director, Sharon Fishel always finds a way to relate our winter exhibitions with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs). Last year 1000 students from Fairfax County came to MPA for docent-led tours which include a hands on art activity. We provide free bus transportation to MPA’s galleries to Project Excel schools, schools designated by Fairfax County Public Schools as “at-risk” schools with large numbers of English as second language students or students who qualify for free or reduced lunches.
Sharon Fishel and Anthony Brock worked with approx. 20 students from Longfellow MS on the Teen Center Mural during four sessions this past winter 2010.
MPA ArtReach conducted a watercolor workshop and slide talk called "Special Places" at the Lewinsville Senior Center. Here Sharon helps a Lewinsville senior with her project.
