MPAartfest

The 6th annual MPAartfest arrives on Sunday, October 6th, from 10 am - 5 pm in McLean Central Park (at the intersection of Dolley Madison Blvd (rt 123) and Old Dominion Drive).  Forty-nine juried artists will exhibit and sell their art, transforming the park into a lively landscape of mini-galleries.  Created for the community by McLean Project for the Arts, MPAartfest draws thousands of art-lovers of all ages to enjoy (and purchase) original art, listen to live music, create their own masterpiece at MPA’s Innovation Station and picnic on delicious selections from local restaurants.  Parking is free and easy with shuttle buses running all day.
This fun, free art festival gratefully accepts donations to help support McLean Project for the Arts' exceptional exhibitions and art education programs all year long.

Event partner sponsors are the McLean Community Center and the Fairfax County Park Authority.  The Innovation Station art tent is sponsored by TTR Sotheby's International Realty.
Since 1962, McLean Project for the Arts has been promoting the work of emerging and established regional artists.  A non-profit visual arts center, MPA presents high quality, professionally-curated art exhibitions and art classes for children and adults taught by professional art instructors.  Additionally, MPA educates thousands of area students with its acclaimed ArtReach program, and offers gallery talks and day trips to regional museums and galleries. MPA is a partner with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Fairfax County Public Schools.
