Thank You for Helping MPA Celebrate 60!
Our tremendous gratitude goes out to all of the sponsors, guests, volunteers, and donors who made MPA’s 60th Anniversary Gala Celebration a spectacular success!
Special thanks to Sally Simms, our Host Committee Chair, and to all of our Host Committee members. Your generosity raised important funds that will help MPA expand the scope of our exhibitions and ArtReach education programming, allowing us to continue presenting contemporary visual art, and to share these experiences with under-resourced communities, including FCPS Title I students, young adults with differing abilities, and low-income seniors in our community.
We hope you will enjoy this Gala video recap, and hope to see many of you at our 16th Annual MPAartfest next Sunday, October 2.
On behalf of everyone at MPA, our warmest thanks for your truly outstanding generosity and support. We look forward to the next 60 years of connecting art and community.
Event Details
Sponsorship Opportunities
Contact Laura Gleason if you have any questions at lgleason@mpaart.org.
Please note: MPA is a nonprofit organization, and our 60th anniversary events raise critical funds needed to support our mission-based programs. At this time, we cannot accommodate splitting sponsor packages between individuals, companies, or families. Sponsorship packages are intended to be purchased by one entity. We appreciate your understanding.
For donors interested in giving from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), please note that IRS regulations do not permit any benefits, including tickets, to be conferred in connection with DAF contributions. IRS regulations state that ticket costs, including both cost of goods/services and charitable amount, should be paid for from sources other than a DAF. Please consult your tax professional for more information.
For donors interested in employer matching gifts, please contact MPA first to determine the tax-deductible amount.
I’m unable to attend, but would like to show my support!
We are pleased to recognize donors at $1750 and higher as event sponsors on our website and in printed materials.
Please note, no changes will be made to the event program after September 7, 2022.
