MAA's Strathmore Exhibition

This November marks an exciting milestone for the Montgomery Art Association: our very first Members’ Show at the prestigious Strathmore Mansion. Known for its historic elegance and reputation as one of the region’s most respected art venues, Strathmore provides the perfect backdrop to highlight the exceptional creativity of our members.

From more than 430 submissions, 60 artists were selected to exhibit their work in this juried show—an extraordinary testament to the depth of talent within MAA. The diversity of media, style, and vision represented promises a vibrant and inspiring exhibition that reflects the strength of our artistic community.

We invite you to celebrate with us at the Opening Reception on Saturday, November 22, from 1–3 pm. Esteemed juror Jordan Bruns will present awards of recognition to honor outstanding achievements among the exhibiting artists. With so many members, friends, and supporters gathered, this reception is sure to be a memorable afternoon of art, community, and celebration.

Don’t miss this landmark event for MAA—please join us!
