thank you!!!
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s event! We not only had wonderful art donated by MFA members for attendees to take home, we also had very cool raffle items donated by some of our favorite local vendors. And … we had lots of fun!
The funds we raised help to pay the staff so we can continue what we do best – create meaningful connections in the community through exceptional exhibitions. We always make sure we have more artwork than attendees so everyone gets a choice.
This means we have artwork left still available for you to buy at the discounted price of $150. Click to view the gallery and make your selection.
View Sales Gallerywhat 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 MC Alex Cortright pulls your number, 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 the 50th anniversary of 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.
