Welcome :

The Marco Island Foundation for the Arts (MIFA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the arts in public places on Marco Island. Incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) in 2003, MIFA is now a growing membership organization with a volunteer board of directors and an honorary advisory committee.

Our Mission is to support the arts in public places. We believe that art can be catalytic in bringing people together and can complement the spirit of the people who live in a particular location. Through public art we hope to engage people, to stir their imaginations and inspire dialogue. Art can help us to shape our community places, create community rituals, celebrate community history, and encourage pride of place.

Our vision includes working together with other island organizations in a cooperative spirit to accomplish our mission. We invite you to explore the opportunities that MIFA presents and to be inspired to participate.
