Since 1975, Mount Dora Center for the Arts has evolved from a small group of citizens who wanted to bring an arts festival to town into a vibrant, art loving and supportive community . Each year, an annual fundraiser is held to help support MDCA’s mission to bring art education, thoughtful exhibits and creativity to all in the community. In 2022, the annual fundraiser, New stART Gala (formerly Art of the Deal) will be held on New Year’s Eve. Help MDCA continue its mission by purchasing a ticket, sponsoring the event or by placing an ad in this year’s Gala program.
