For over a decade, MCA has honored and celebrated the arts with Saluting the Arts. In 2016, the event was renamed Applaud the Arts and it is with inspired energy that we request your support for the next Applaud the Arts event, October 17, 2019 at The Appleton Museum of Art.

This year’s event features a variety of arts immersion experience including painting singing, theatre and more.

MCA began with Horse Fever in 2001 and has continued each year, supporting every genre of local talent with public art, an gallery, advocacy, and funding including Cultural Grants totaling $310,000. It’s time to up our game showcasing and supporting the talent and local arts organizations and we can only do so with your help.
