what is collector’s choice?
MFA’s biggest fundraiser, Collector’s Choice, is your exclusive chance to wine and dine with MFA’s impressive membership of artists, while also treating yourself to a new piece of art. Guests are assigned a number at the door. When your number is pulled, you get to select any piece of art that hasn’t already been chosen to take home. The evening is one of great food, music, raffle items, and talented artists – and you leave the evening with a prize!
The money raised from this annual fundraiser helps pay our staff so we can continue to do what we do best – create meaningful connections in the community through exceptional exhibitions.
It’s a night to start a new art collection or add to your existing collection – the work you take home guarantees you won’t forget about this fantastic event.
