CALL FOR ARTISTS

Artists with Cameras 2026

June 17-July 18

The Mt. Airy Art Garage (MAAG) invites all photographers to submit their art for “Artists with Cameras” happening from June 17-July 18, 2026, at MAAG, 7054 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19119.

Photographers 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.

This is a juried exhibition in MAAG’s Gallery and Artists may submit up to two (2) pieces of artwork to be on display and for sale. Photographs must be framed with wire hangers.
