In the building
You may be wondering what the blue tape is around the building. We are getting ready to give some of the woodwork a little love, and you can expect to see it restored and looking beautiful soon!

Well, finally our old boiler has given up! Fortunately we have two, and will have things back up and running in a week's time. Thanks to everyone who helps us to support this beautiful, historic building with your Building Restoration Fee, and donations - this is what it is for! $$$
Art in the MCA Gallery
Stop by the gallery in the heart of the building to see the the inspirational work of Cynthia Brody being installed tomorrow.

In her work as artist, editor and therapist, Ms. Brody strives to raise the awareness and sensitivity of others regarding the human experience and the struggles and beauty, which are an integral part of life.

New Staff
We are very excited to welcome Rebecca Richards to our family as MCA Programming Director. Rebecca has taught art and writing to all ages of students, and was a founder of the Belmont World Film Festival. She has also worked with hundreds of artists as the director for the Belmont Art Gallery, and brings a wealth of other experiences too numerous to mention here. Stop by and say hello - her first day is October 19.
Last year donations helped to bring about scholarships for students in need, more public art projects as well as community programming, and helped us to sustain our current level of staffing.. Thank you! There is never a bad time to support the arts.
