#GivingTuesday 2023 is right around the corner, on Tuesday, November 28! As a premier center for contemporary art exhibitions and arts education programming, we’re looking ahead to continue showcasing the work of established and emerging artists and providing educational programs and classes--and we need your support!

McLean Project for the Arts (MPA) currently seeks submissions for our 2024 Spring Solo Exhibitions. Contemporary living artists working in the Mid-Atlantic Region are invited to submit exhibition or project proposals to be on display in the Emerson and Atrium Galleries. The dates for the exhibitions will be from April 11 - June 15, 2024.

This winter, come in from the cold and join MPA for an exciting lineup of Winter art classes! MPA's winter lineup includes some of our long-time favorites, as well as exciting new options, such as Ahmed Zaidan's Design Basics. Classes will take place in our DuVal Studio and online.

Registration opens Monday, December 4.

Join MPA December 7, 2023 - February 17, 2024 for our Winter Exhibitions, "Moving Beyond Beauty: Reverence and Reclamation" (Emerson Gallery) and "To March is to Love: Weavings by Janel Leppin" (Atrium Gallery).
