Thank you for your support!
The call for exhibiting artists is now closed, but it’s still a great time to show your support of The MAC. Please consider joining or donating today!
The original call…
Show your art and/or your support during our 22nd Annual Members Show (it’s our biggest membership drive of the year).
It’s easy, become a member at $50 level or above ($30 for students). Artists may submit works in all media, from painting and sculpture to video and performance; it can be something old, or new, or experimental.
This year, The MAC invites artists to respond to the theme Assembly. Each year, a theme for the exhibition is selected by The MAC staff and Board of Directors. Previous themes include Δ (Delta), Trans-, Meltdown, and Border.
The Annual Members Show is one of the cornerstones of the spirit and mission of The MAC. The exhibition celebrates emerging to established artistic talent in Dallas and surrounding areas. While fostering an inclusive worldview, The MAC continues to shape perceptions and attitudes towards contemporary art on a local level by acting as a societal meeting point between artists and art patrons. The Annual Members Show provides a meeting point, a place for creative expression and experimentation, and importantly, supports our future programming.
Details on eligibility and submission requirements are outlined below.
