MBA Fall Art Show 8/3/2009 The MBA Fall Art Show began as an idea to showcase the arts at MBA along with the athletics during the Spaghetti Supper Homecoming weekend. Since its inception, the Show has expanded to feature collections of artwork from artists chosen from the MBA community of alumni, parents and friends. The group of artist chosen each year is determined through an application and selection process conducted by the Art Show Committee and the MBA Art Department. All artwork is exhibited in the Davis Gallery and Gibbs Room on the MBA campus. All artwork is for sale and 20% of the sale price benefits the MBA Mother’s Club.
