WELCOME
to MPAartfest

On October 4th, 2009 MPAartfest will transform McLean Central Park into a lively landscape of mini art galleries showcasing and offering for sale the work of a diverse group of 38 juried artists.

MPAartfest includes activities to captivate art-lovers of all ages. Stroll through the Children’s ArtWalk, sponsored by McLean Citizens Foundation, to experience the work of young artists from McLean area schools. Budding artists may create their own works of art at the Children’s ArtTent, coordinated by New Dominion Women's Club.

The Gazebo Stage will feature a variety of live performances throughout the day.

Visitors can treat themselves to a delicious selection of refreshments from local restaurants.
