Join us to make decorations with the extraordinary artist, designer, and performer, Shelton Lindsay. This year, Lindsay is the designer and curator of our annual fundraiser, Masked Marvelous, MFTA’s fabulous celebration of creativity, reuse, and the NYC arts community. Go behind the scenes of Masked Marvelous and construct décor that will transform our warehouse into an extravagant event space. Shelton will lead guests through hands-on decorating projects using non-traditional art supplies and reusable materials from the MFTA warehouse to highlight this year’s theme of Grit & Glamour.

Our 18th annual Masked Marvelous will bring attendees on a journey through the five boroughs of New York, highlighting their unique Grit & Glamour with mask-making, music, dancing and entertainment.
