MEMBERS SHOW -- drop off January 7 - 8, 2022
Members' Shows are an open call to all MWCA members -- it's your chance to show off your talent and artistry!  We encourage all our members in good standing to plan for our annual Members' Show.  

All members, regardless of experience or expertise are encouraged to enter our Members' Show.  It's a benefit of membership and a great opportunity to support your local art center, plus have your works on display and for sale in our Gallery!  This exhibit is also open to Youth (ages 10 - 17 ).

Our MWCA Members' Show presents all our members' works: experienced, even professional artists' works, emerging artists and novices alike in a single show, highlighting our commitment to fostering a community of support for artists of all levels. All works accepted as long as they meet our guidelines.  Learn more HERE!

Hope to see you at the pot-luck on 12/2!
