Maple Grove Arts Center || Give to the Max Day '23

The Maple Grove Arts Center offers quality art education and art appreciation with extensive community participation, volunteer and patron involvement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a 501(c)(3) we place great emphasis on the donations of our patrons to operate our physical location, host events and classes. Other sources of income are grants and art sales. We are run entirely by volunteers and if you are interested in helping in that way, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Lise Spence-Parsons.
