Attention all artists: MPA is currently seeking submissions for our Fall 2021 exhibition, (Not) Strictly Painting. This exhibition is a juried biennial exhibition celebrating the depth and breadth of paintings–or works related in some way to painting–from artists throughout the mid-Atlantic area. This show will be juried by Foon Sham, Virginia-based artist and Professor of Art at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Virginia Treanor, Associate Curator at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Registration is now open for online summer art classes. MPA’s teaching artists represent a range of expertise in multiple mediums and approaches, and offer a high level of instruction for all ages.

MPA will accept the mantle to establish the next chapter of sculptor and longtime McLean resident Emilie Benes Brzezinski’s spectacular body of work. The gift was announced at MPA’s ArtSprings! Virtual Benefit, which was attended by Brzezinski’s children, Ian, Mark, and MSNBC journalist Mika Brzezinski.
