Our annual exhibition at Brookside Gardens is a mid-sized art show using the full gallery space within the visitors center. The show is a wonderful opportunity for MAA artists to display their botanical works -- flowers, plants, butterflies, landscape paintings from the gardens, etc. The image shown here is "Mellow Yellow" by member artist Diane Shipley.

Registration will be open February 14 - 28; however if the maximum number of art pieces is achieved, the registration will close early and a wait-list will start.

Artwork suitability for this exhibit are mid-sized paintings (max size 28" wide by 28" tall,  including frame).  

There are also two new display cases in the Gift Shop, available for 3D artwork. New this year!
