MAA is hosting a fundraiser, Impressions. As part of the originally planned event (cancelled in March, 2020 due to the pandemic), we asked MAA members if they would create impressionist pieces to donate for sale that evening.
​
Food request! To help us make this Impressions evening a success, we would greatly appreciate your help in bringing finger foods (sweet or savory) for the event. Click here to let us know what you can bring. Thank you!
​
​
If you still have your piece from the original request and would consider donating it to MAA for the same purpose, would you please email a picture of it to the MAA email box. Thanks so much.
If you didn't create a piece already, this can be a copy of an impressionist painting or your own version of impressionism that you are willing to donate!​
