CALL FOR ARTISTS

Flower Show 2026

March 11 – April 4, 2026

Mother Nature has produced beautiful floral tapestries throughout our history. With the Philadelphia Flower Show and upcoming Earth Day, Mt. Airy Art Garage is highlighting the natural beauty and potential harm our society is experiencing in the coming years. As Artists, we see and create what Mother Nature has inspired us to produce.

The Mt. Airy Art Garage (MAAG) is holding an open call for artists to submit artwork for the exhibition, “Flower Show.” This is a juried exhibition and we invite member artists and artists associated with other art centers in the Philadelphia region. Whether you’re MAAG members or have never joined a club, MAAG invites you to submit artwork that conveys your unique vision when inspired by Mother Nature.

p>Artwork in a variety of mediums, styles, and execution will be accepted. Artists may submit up to two (2) pieces of art to be on display and for sale in this upcoming exhibition. All work must be framed and ready to hang.
