The board and staff of McLean Project for the Arts are saddened to learn of the death of longtime MPA friend and supporter Emilie Benes Brzezinski.

Sincere thanks to the Brzezinski Family for their recent gift of many of her magnificent sculptures, and for designating MPA as the recipient of memorial gifts in her memory. These gifts will be dedicated towards celebrating her incredible body of work.

This year marks a major landmark for MPA as we turn 60! As the oldest, continuously operating nonprofit visual arts center in Northern Virginia, we have showcased works by over 3,000 emerging and established artists, promoted public awareness and understanding of contemporary art concepts, and offered expert instruction and education in the visual arts.

Mark your calendars and join MPA September 16 – November 10, 2022 for "Continuum: Artists Teaching Artists," an invitational exhibition highlighting works by artists who give significant time to teaching, mentoring, and community-building, while continuing to sustain and develop strong and innovative personal bodies of work. Opening Exhibition Reception September 22 from 7-9pm.
