About This Event

Mark your calendars! MPAartfest 2021 returns for its 15th year to McLean Central Park on Sunday, October 3, 2021 from 10am – 4pm.

During MPAartfest, McLean Central Park is transformed into a lively landscape of mini art galleries showcasing and offering for sale the work of juried artists from throughout the mid-Atlantic region. This FREE event features contemporary art, live music throughout the day from some of the DC area’s best musical talents, a Children’s Art Walk, food vendors, and much more.

MPA is an independent non-profit 501(C)3 organization. Funds raised at MPAartfest via sponsorships and individual donations support MPA exhibitions and programs throughout the year.

MPAartfest 2021 is made possible with the help of the McLean Community Center, and through partnerships with our community and corporate sponsors, Fairfax County Park Authority and The Mather.

Please note:  The health and safety of our community, artists, and staff is our highest priority as we plan for the return to McLean Central Park for our 15th annual MPAartfest. We are working with state and local authorities, as well as following CDC guidelines, to ensure that we are in compliance with official policies as we develop COVID-19 protocols and procedures. We will be updating this information regularly to reflect the latest information and guidelines.

Can’t wait until October? Relive all of the best moments of Virtual MPAartfest 2020 online! Visit MPA’s YouTube Channel to experience all of the Meet the Artist Talks, as well as our Art+Music Moonlight Concert Series.
