It is one of the longest running fine art festivals in Southern California. MAFA’s art events not only promote local and regional artists, but also support arts education in public and private schools.
In last many years, when budgets cuts have adversely affected our schools, MAFA’s donations of more than $50,000 have supported art education in after-school and in-school programs. MAFA has also funded school teachers through mini-grants in Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Duarte and Arcadia.
Other local organizations supported by MAFA are Foothill Unity Center, Boys and Girls club of Monrovia and the YMCA.
This year MAFA is expanding the event in collaboration with another art group – Nuvein Foundation for Literature and the Arts and will present live entertainment and other art venues throughout Old Town on both days.
Event features include local and regional artists displaying, selling and demonstrating their arts, hands-on art experiences for kids and adults, family friendly activities, student art displays, a silent auction, the San Gabriel Valley Comic Book Festival, live entertainment on a multi-stage setting, local non-profit booths and of course, plenty of food.
Monrovia Association of Fine Arts presents its 46th annual arts festival “Celebrate the Arts – Where Culture Unites” in Old Town Monrovia on Sat. & Sun., October 10th and 11th from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm at Monrovia Library Park, 321 South Myrtle Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016.
