Attention FMAAA Artists -- It's almost THAT TIME again!!

December Member Show artwork drop off: Nov 28 - Dec 5
Artwork should be display ready and wired to hang with artist name and artwork title, media, and price labeled on the back.

Member MINIs drop off begins November 3 continuing through the month of December. These are smaller items, less than 12in. Members may bring in up to six MINIs -- perfect for gift giving (then replenish until the end of December!)

Hope to see your work at this year's Member Show!
