We’re celebrating the artists of MAAG with our Member Artists Show, happening from July 29-August 28, 2026, at MAAG, 7054 Germantown Avenue, 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 Friday, July 17.

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. Artists submitting sculpture or other 3-D work may need to provide their own pedestals. Artwork improperly presented and/or found unfit to hang may not be exhibited.
