As the 2024 calendar year draws to a close, MPA is conducting our Annual Giving Campaign. It's an inspiring time for McLean Project for the Arts and our community!
MPA Educates
Throughout 2024, MPA continued growing our MPA ArtReach program to reach our ever-expanding ArtReach community of FCPS school students, community partners, adults and seniors. ArtReach continues to focus on and prioritize our differently abled community who are making great artistic strides every week.
Through this past year MPA ArtReach has enriched the daily lives of 2,901 participants through 127 events. These 127 ArtReach events include virtual and in-person art classes, in-class slide lectures, as well as in-gallery tours for school age students, adults and seniors. We are also grateful to have been able to create an evergreen in-gallery / in-classroom art education booklet which engages students and adults, combining contemporary art with the Virgina Standards of Learning (SOL’s) for Reading, Writing, Poetry and Drawing.
Our upcoming Spring Solo exhibitions (2025) will again bring Title 1 school groups into our gallery from all parts of our community including our advance registration for the entire 2nd grade from Timber Lane Elementary School. Additionally, during this past Spring/ Fall 2024 we welcomed Title I school students from the fourth grade of Hybla Valley Elementary School, and 2nd and 3rd grade Westlawn Elementary School students. We also provided in-depth STEAM programming of Art & Math for Special Need populations, including in-classroom visits at McLean High School, Langley High School and Langston High Alternative High School and in-gallery visits from SPARC Solutions and ServiceSource groups and Second Story Safe Youth Project groups.
Your support fuels all of this incredible work, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead in 2025! Together, we will continue to inspire creativity, connect our community through the arts, and make a lasting impact. Make your gift today!
