McLean Project for the Arts

The McLean Project for the Arts will also receive a grant for their participation in making the CharityWorks GreenHouse possible. MPA is a non-profit visual arts center founded in 1962 to exhibit the work of emerging and established regional artists, 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.

In the fall, MPAartfest transforms McLean Central Park into a lively landscape of mini art galleries showcasing and offering for sale the work of a diverse group of 40 juried artists. MPAartfest includes activities to captivate art-lovers of all ages.
