Our Creative Expressions show this year includes artwork from 31 members, including a few who are showing with MAA for the first time.

The annual show—one of two signature exhibitions each year—runs from June 2-29 at the Friendship Heights Village Center at 4433 S. Park Ave. in Chevy Chase, MD. The artists reception and prize ceremony will be Sunday, June 9 from 11:30 am-1 pm.

This show includes judging in five categories: Landscape, still life, portraits (people & animals), abstract and miniatures. Cash prizes will be awarded in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, with honorable mention ribbons also awarded.

Gaby Mizes is serving as judge for the show, and will announce the winners at the June 9 reception. Gaby is the director of registration at the Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Maryland, and is the founder of Latin American ERA, a private consultancy company providing expertise in exhibitions and art management for national and international projects.
