McLean Project for the Arts (MPA) has been awarded a $10,000 Arts Engagement in American Communities grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support its upcoming exhibition, “Nature as Prototype”.
“The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support the excellence and diversity of arts programs across the country, including organizations like McLean Project for the Arts that make the arts accessible to people in McLean and the greater Washington D.C. area and further enhances the vitality of their community,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu.
MPA will present an exhibition of works by three contemporary artists from the Mid-Atlantic region whose work explores how art, science and nature can be integrated or re-mixed through digital formats. The work will serve as an opportunity for experimentation and for developing conversation and partnerships between artists, engineers and scientists.
“Nature as Prototype” opens November 9, 2017.
