Welcome to Monrovia fine arts

Monrovia Association of Fine Arts (MAFA) is a community-based nonprofit dedicated to making the visual arts an active and visible part of everyday life. We believe art should not be confined to galleries—it should be encountered in local businesses, schools, public spaces, and shared community experiences. By supporting artists and creating opportunities to engage with art, we help foster creativity, dialogue, and a deeper sense of place in Monrovia.

Whether you are an artist, an art lover, a student, or someone simply curious, MAFA invites you to discover, learn, participate, and be inspired.
