GOODBYE 2025, HELLO 2026!
A Year in Review...
Let’s take a moment to celebrate all that we accomplished together this year!
It has truly been such special year packed with so many memories: shows & receptions, plein air & figure model sessions, member meetings, workshops, field trips, street fairs, and even our very own MAA book! Enjoy this “year in review” to re-live these events offered throughout this last year. What shows and events did you participate in and enjoy? Read on, take a trip down memory lane, and think about what events you might like to try in the future.
Here’s our 2025 stats so far:
Shows: 13
Plein Air Meet-ups: 10
Figure Model Sessions: 35
Member Meetings: 6
Workshops: 3
Field Trips: 3
Street Fairs: 2
MAA Book: 1
MAA is an all-volunteer non-profit organization, so we extend a tremendous thank you to the members, volunteers and the board for their dedication to make MAA events possible. Remember, we have open volunteer positions and would love getting to know you. Make a New Year’s resolution to join in the fun and email us to volunteer at maaartists@gmail.com.
CHEERS to 2025!
