MCAF-Med City Art Festival

Join us at the Winona Arts Center for a captivating reception celebrating the artist Ivete Vaz Martinez and her exhibition: The Gaucho, which highlights a tradition deeply rooted in the pampas of Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina.
The afternoon will feature a stunning musical performance by Heidi Bryant and Lisa Douglas, showcasing the rich sounds of Argentine tango.
We're grateful to SEMAC for supporting both the exhibition and musical programs.
Indulge your taste buds with delicious dishes prepared by Linda Sue Eastman, including Brazilian pão de queijo and alfajores from Uruguay and Argentina.
We look forward to celebrating art, culture, and community with you!

This is a heartfelt thanks to the SEMAC for its generosity in awarding MCAF with the Legacy Grant 2025.
As you know, MCAF requires a lot of work. Being awarded the SEMAC grant motivated us and revitalized our work and dedication to the community we serve. Your award goes beyond the financial reward. It shows your trust in us as mediators between the funds and the artists.
Another special and warm feeling of gratitude to all those who served as panelists. Whose feedback from the evaluation helped me improve my grant skills and support MCAF in its mission.
Thank you again for your commitment and kindness.
MCAF Team
