Support the Fine Arts

Involvement in the arts is one of the most singularly important undertakings for any individual, community or society. The arts help individuals to think creatively and globally. 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. You owe it to yourself, your children, and your community to get involved with art.

Donate

Donations at any level can be made using the Donate button on the left-hand side of the page. This will take you to temporarily to the PayPal website (an eBay company). PayPal is a fast, easy, and secure way to make an online donation. Thank you in advance for you generosity.

MidCoast Fine Arts is a non-profit volunteer arts organization. MFA does not charge artists for the sale of their work. MFA can only continue to bring the artwork of talented established and emerging area artists to over 2 million people per year by the patronage and sponsorship of concerned individuals and businesses like YOU!

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 here and then click on the donate button to make your gift!

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 and set up a visit, email Development Director Melissa Coulter at [melissa at midcoast dot org].

Current Sponsors

Buy Art

Supporting local artists directly involves you in the continuing establishment of the Quad Cities as the Midwest Arts Mecca and places works of original art in your home or business to be enjoyed on a daily basis.

The art that is displayed in the various MFA galleries and at MFA events can be purchased directly from the artist or through an MFA director. MidCoast Fine Arts charges NO commission to the artist or you, the buyer.

Volunteer

MidCoast Fine Arts has many opportunities throughout the year and the Quad Cities area for individuals or organizations willing to donate a little of their time or talents in bringing the arts to the people of our community. You can become a valued member of the MFA Volunteer ArtForce by contacting Volunteer Director Samantha DeVilbiss at [samantha at midcoast dot org].

Don't just sit there. Get involved.
