CALL FOR ARTISTS

Artists with Cameras 2025

August 7-29, 2025

The Mt. Airy Art Garage (MAAG) is holding an open call for photographers to submit work for our Annual Photography Show, which is held in partnership with MAAG’s Photo Club. This is a juried exhibition; and it runs August 7-29, 2025, in MAAG’s Gallery at 7054 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19119. Artists may submit up to two (2) pieces of artwork to be on display and for sale. Photographs must be framed with wire hangers.

Photographers – Artists with Cameras – work their magic using creativity and technical skill to artistically express emotions and ideas. The camera is their tool for creating images for art’s sake. MAAG invites photography artists to share what has inspired them during the past year. This exhibition will present a range of creative expressions — portraits, objects, street scenes, landscapes, abstracts, and more.
