CALL FOR ARTISTS

Members Show 2025

September 11-26, 2025

The Mt. Airy Art Garage (MAAG) invites all artists to submit their art for the Members Show 2025, happening September 11-26, 2025, in MAAG’s Gallery at 7054 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19119.

This annual show honors MAAG members and celebrates the range and diversity of the Philadelphia area’s creative community.

The art show is exclusively for current MAAG members, who are invited to submit work that reflects their recent creative endeavors. Artists who wish to be in the show may join or renew a membership at this time. As a perk to our members, the show will not be juried; and there is no fee. However, we still require that a submission form, JPG image of artwork, and an artist statement/bio be provided by Sunday, August 17.

MAAG serves as an incubator for professional and emerging artists who work in creative partnerships with local adults and youth to spread the spirit of art, community, and sustainable living throughout Northwest Philadelphia.

All age groups are welcome, and all skill levels, whether professional or emerging, are accepted. Artists may submit one (1) work of art that was created during the past two years. All mediums are accepted, including handcrafts and fine art, 2- and 3-dimensional art. All 2-dimensional art must be ready-to-hang. Artwork improperly presented and/or found unfit to hang may not be exhibited.
