There's a lot happening at MAA - check out these Programs and Shows!
Open Studio - Join us at our next Open Studio on August 1 - a welcoming creative space designed for artists of all levels to gather, share, and grow together. All artists and art enthusiasts are welcome. Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, photographer, writer, or multidisciplinary creator, this is your time to immerse yourself in the joy of making art—side by side with a supportive community.
Register your art for MAA's Paint the Town Art Exhibit and Sale - one of the DC region’s largest and longest-running art shows. The Town of Kensington and MAA present the Paint the Town Labor Day Show September 5-7, 2026, at the Historic Armory in Kensington, Maryland. The exhibition and sale is free and open to the public all weekend.
Learn at a fun workshop on September 26 - where you’ll create a textured work of paper art that captures the mood and beauty of a villa with a summer garden. Discover a fun new art form, using hundreds of kinds of paper as your medium! You will be creating a textured piece of artwork under the guidance of Ronni Jolles. You will be ripping, cutting, and manipulating paper, as you glue layers down onto an 8” x 10” stretched canvas. It’s a very hands on workshop!
