THIRD THURSDAYS
Coming Together to Celebrate Creative Reuse
Friends of Materials for the Arts believes in fostering a sense of community around Creative Reuse. Once a month, MFTA opens its doors for a variety of community events, including performances, artist workshops, discussions and gallery openings. Engage with the MFTA team and Artists in Residence while enjoying and participating in creative activities. Events take place the Third Thursday of every month. All are free and open to the public.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have transformed our programming for the the virtual space. We now host Third Thursday events, where attendees can tune in on our YouTube channel. You can explore recording of our recent events below.
