Support the Fine Arts

Join us and support us
Involvement in the arts is one of the most singularly important undertakings for any individual, community or society. The arts help communities to remain vibrant and attractive to new businesses and families. The arts express the soul of a society and define its hopes and dreams.

Donate
We appreciate your support and generosity whether it comes in the form of your time, talent or treasure. We are a non-profit volunteer arts organization and don't charge artists for the sales of their work. Please consider being a patron or sponsor. Individual memberships offer benefits at each level, from Riverssance passes to the commissioning of a special piece of artwork just for you! Check out our membership levels. Corporate gifts and sponsorships are a great way to support the arts community, improve the quality of life for your employees and fellow Quad Citians and generate good will for your company. To request a sponsorship brochure or set up a visit, email the President of MidCoast Fine Arts, Heather Pederson at PedersonHeatherL@JohnDeere.com

Buy Art

Supporting local artists directly involves you bettering our community. The art that is displayed in MFA galleries events can be purchased directly from the artist or through an MFA director. We charge no commission to the artist or you.

Volunteer

MFA has many opportunities throughout the year and the Quad Cities area for individuals or organizations willing to donate their time or talents in bringing the arts to the people of our community. You can become a valued member of the MFA by contacting Carolyn at carolyn@midcoast.org. Don't just sit there, get involved.
