About MidCoast Fine Arts

MidCoast Fine Arts (MFA) serves our community with quality programming and events. We are a leading non-profit organization stimulating our community's cultural and economic vitality through the support of regional visual arts and artists. In other words, we have amazing art-focused events that make the Quad Cities a better place to live.

Through spaces like Bucktown Center for the Arts and our galleries MFA increases traffic in our metropolitan centers, enhance our community's valuation of our downtowns, and foster arts and culture as an effective tool for urban revitalization projects. How do we do this? MFA enhances the urban streetscape with street events, public art and gallery programming.

We continually work to promote the Quad Cities as an arts destination. Check out one of our galleries or events soon.

Partnerships

MFA is a regional leader with multi-level civic, tourism, development and educational initiatives that intertwine community programming and deliverables through partnerships, if seen outside our community, worthy of national recognition. Over two million viewers see art in our area each year through events put on by MFA. We operate more than 6 galleries in four cities and partners in nearly two dozen events annually.
