About MPA
- McLean Project for the Arts
- McLean, VA, United States
- MPA is a non-profit visual arts center founded in 1962 to exhibit the work of emerging and established regional artists. The mission of McLean Project for the Arts is to exhibit the work of emerging and established artists from the mid-Atlantic region; to promote public awareness and understanding of the concepts of contemporary art; and to offer instruction and education in the visual arts. In addition to its program of high quality, professionally-curated art exhibitions, MPA presents special traveling exhibitions from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. MPA/Corcoran, an educational partnership, offers art classes for children and adults taught by instructors from the Corcoran College of Art + Design. MPA also presents the Art Reach program for area schools, gallery talks, and day trips to area museums and galleries. All works of art exhibited at MPA are for sale unless otherwise noted.
