We are thrilled to host in person again our annual celebration of local artists--the three-day Paint the Town Labor Day Show & Sale. This is one of the longest-running and largest art shows in the region, with hundreds of works by nearly 200 MAA artists. The event is free and open to the public.

All works are for sale. In addition, the Artist Marketplace will have small works, prints and notecards available for purchase. We'll also have a one-day painting competition, live demonstrations, an artist invitational competition, live music, and food trucks. 

A portion of all sales proceeds goes to support MAA's arts mission. Learn more about MAA
