We know we’ve been talking a lot about Give $10 in the past few weeks. That’s because it is important to us, and with the opportunity for your $10 donation to equal an extra $10,000 for MFA we hope it’s important to you too. For MFA to win the additional prize again this year, we need you (our biggest supporters…

In my experience watching paint dry is pretty exciting.. Growing up with my father as an artist I guess I did that a lot. My father, Lee Boynton is a professional artist in Annapolis and he has taught many people throughout the 30 plus years he has been living in Annapolis. I like to watch him set up his pallet…
We are less than two weeks away from Give $10, and hope that you have penciled 6pm May 7 to 6pm May 8 into your calendars. Of course, we want you to give, but your ability to advocate for MFA and leverage your networks is even more valuable during this 24-hour, online fund-a-thon. What we are asking you to…

We are caught in this love/hate quandary: Shiny new iPads with Retina displays call out with their siren song, but wait… I just spent $600 three years ago on my beloved and apparently now outdated original. Even the delightful Apps that…

I have had a career in managing a variety of nonprofit organizations in Washington, from think tanks to arts organizations. My passions include travel, inventive food, and many kinds…
In most cases, $10 doesn’t go as far as it used to. For $10 you could buy a medium pepperoni pizza, one movie ticket, two large drinks at Starbucks, a large pizza, three gallons of gas, or, if you’re lucky, one lunch in downtown Annapolis – at Subway. During GIVE $10 your $10 can go a lot further. In fact,…
This week’s featured artist: April Rimpo, member since 2005 ME: I’ve lived in Maryland for 17 years. I’ve been fortunate to be able to travel to many places within the US and to a couple other countries; most of these travels have been part of art workshops, inspiring me to create paintings that share these places with others through my…
You might not think $10 can make a difference. But last year, when supporters decided to GIVE $10 to MFA through Anne Arundel’s Great Give we won an extra $10,000 in prize money. And almost everyone can agree that $10,000 makes a big difference, especially for a small nonprofit like MFA. Because people supported MFA through the Great Give last…
