Spring Benefit 

The Spring Benefit is an opportunity for area art patrons to get together and enjoy a social evening in a historic house, the home of an art collector or some otherwise inspiring setting. It is an evening of idea-generating conversation and creative cuisine that benefits MPA's exhibitions and educational programs for the upcoming year. 

The McLean Project for the Arts 2008 Spring Benefit will be held at Prospect Hill, historic home of the Formans.
 
The 2008 Spring Benefit for McLean Project for the Arts will be on Tuesday, May 13, 7 - 9 pm. The benefit raises funds to support MPA programs which include exhibitions, art classes and workshops for adults and children, the ArtReach program in local schools, summer art camp, tours to galleries and museums, and the annual Youth Art Show.
