About MPA
Samantha Rivas
Modern Party Art Founder & CEO
I started MPA in 2009 with one belief: that creativity belongs to everyone. What began as a traveling paint party has grown into a full creative art studio and event venue — and now, we're home.
1524 Dorchester Ave isn't just our new address. It's the neighborhood where I grew up. Bringing MPA to Fields Corner is personal, and I don't take that lightly.
Whether you're planning a birthday celebration, looking for a creative outlet, or searching for a space where your community can gather — we built this place for you.
Create. Curate. Celebrate.
