Sharon Arsenault Memorial Fund

The Sharon Arsenault Memorial Fund honors Sharon’s legacy and dedication to MFA.

Sharon was one of MFA’s longest serving volunteers and most dedicated Members. Consistently involved with MFA since the 1980s, there was nothing she couldn’t and didn’t do.

She found jurors; created calls, prospectuses, and catalogs; co-chaired the exhibition committee; and pitched in any way she could to support staff and keep MFA going. She had an incredible memory – she always knew if a piece had been in a show before.

She had a special talent for installation – she could transform an exhibition from 60 separate works on the floor to a work of art in and of itself. And there was nothing that could stop her from getting to an installation.

Your gift honors her memory and helps sustain opportunities for artists to exhibit, learn, and create connections. Donations support MFA and keep art visible and accessible to all. Thank you for helping carry Sharon’s legacy forward.
