The Mt Airy Art Garage (MAAG) is holding its annual MAAG ROCKS ART festival, a one day Arts Festival in Mt. Airy on Germantown Avenue. We’re breaking out of our summer fun and returning with a large celebration of the arts. Mt Airy Art Garage is a non-profit Artist members organization which supports established and emerging artists and crafters in NW Philadelphia region. We are getting back on track after the long hot summer and are bringing back clubs, classes and events to the Mt Airy Community.

The street festival is a celebration of the arts that includes dozens of artists displaying and selling their art, lots of live music including hourly musicians, food vendors, and children’s art activities from 11am-5pm.

Artists are encouraged to submit their work for this opportunity! Booths will be $60 for MAAG members and $75 for non-members, which includes a $10 non-refundable Jurying Fee.

Please note there will be no electricity provided for this event, and artists may not sell or give away any food or beverage items.

All artists are encouraged to promote their work in this show. Postcards, digital flyers, and promotional links will be available for distribution.
