Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Education (Art Education): MPA offers studio art classes for children and adults. We contract with AbraKadoodles for classes for toddlers and preschoolers. We present MPA's Art Camp each summer; this year we are offering fourteen week-long sessions for elementary school children. All classes are taught by artists. We also offer art history lectures and tours to area museums and galleries - a great service for seniors.

Activity 3

Educational Outreach (Art Reach): MPA presents ArtReach, an initiative under the direction of an artist/educator which brings students into the gallery for education, docent-led tours of exhibitions and hands-on art activities, and sends an artist into the schools to present in-class slide lectures, classroom art projects and after-school art workshops. One of two exhibitions are designated for student tours each year and the tours are scripted to augment the Virginia state curricula and standards of learning (SOLs). MPA focuses on providing educational tours for "at risk" schools in Fairfax County - schools with large populations of English as Second Language students or students who are eligible for free or reduced cost lunches (identified as Project Excel schools); because these schools have no budget or limited budgets for field trips, MPA provides free transportation for these schools. MPA does not charge a fee for any of these programs.
