Arts & Community Leadership
MPA’s Arts & Community Leadership circles bring together supporters who believe in the importance of artists, arts educators, and the power of art to enrich and connect our community. Their support strengthens MPA’s programs, creating opportunities for artists to share their work, educators to share their practice, and people of all ages to experience, learn, and connect through contemporary art.
As part of MPA’s Arts and Community circles, you become closer to the work and community you help make possible — meeting artists, sharing special experiences, connecting with others, and playing a part in shaping MPA’s artistic and community life.

Directed Giving
Give With Vision
Directed Giving begins with what matters to you and what you believe your philanthropy could make possible. Together, we’ll explore where your vision and MPA’s mission align, shaping a gift with meaningful and lasting impact.
A Directed Gift might:
- underwrite an exhibition,
- expand access to arts education,
- establish a bursary,
- bring a new program to life,
- or invest in the spaces and resources behind our work.
These are starting points; together, we can find the opportunity that best reflects your interests and advances MPA’s mission.
Stay close to what you make possible
Depending on your gift, we can shape a relationship that brings you closer to its impact — from engaging with artists, educators, and programs to following the work as it develops and connecting with MPA’s leadership.

Legacy Giving
Make what matters to you part of MPA’s future
A gift to MPA through your Will or estate planning is a lasting way to support the role of art in our community. Whatever its size, your legacy can help ensure future generations continue to encounter artists, experience contemporary art, learn, create, and connect through MPA.
Your legacy at MPA
An unrestricted legacy gives MPA the greatest flexibility to respond to the opportunities and needs of the future — supporting our exhibitions, education and community programs, the artists and educators at their heart, and the spaces and resources that make our work possible.
If there is a particular aspect of MPA’s mission you would like your legacy to support, we would be pleased to discuss your wishes with you.
Start a conversation.
If you are considering including MPA in your Will or estate plans, we would be delighted to talk with you about what you would like your gift to make possible.
If you have already included MPA, we would also welcome the opportunity to thank you and, if you wish, learn more about what inspired your decision.
