In addition to the donations made to MAAL via art sales, there was in excess of $700 raised by the benefit reception. Please visit our website to learn more about the exhibit and view the pieces included.

Visit often to see how the exhibits by our resident artists change!

Resident Artist Diana Bono recently updated her display with more current works. The overall feel of these works is very colorful and bold in color, reflecting possibly the change in seasons.

Our new spring guests!

Framations (or at least our windowsill) has become the new home for two adorable pigeons! They are making a nest (and something to put in it!) as we speak. Our own little lovebirds, Amy has named them A & E (after a couple names Sarah has picked out for her upcoming expected delivery of her own).
