From 2007 to Today: 19 Years of Bold, Compassionate Faith
Since our founding 19 years ago, we have always strived to weave the arts and creative expression into our advocacy and public educational programming. As we approach our 19th year, the MPV Team will be focusing more on nurturing an American Muslim culture through our Silver Thread Collective. During our most recent event, we partnered with Rising Tides Films for a Salon Luncheon (pictured right) that brought together Muslims from across the entertainment industry in community.
Looking ahead, save the date: June 6th at 7:30 pm for Silver Thread's first Gala, which will showcase MPV's grantees.
In the meantime, check out the art projects we've supported here.
Be Yourself. Be Muslim.
