People

Over the years, M_A has grown from a fledgling artist space in the front yard of an artist’s home to a robust organization with an annual calendar of exhibitions and programs. It’s all made possible by an amazing network of individuals and organizations. We are always trying to record our past! Please reach out if you would like to be listed below or would like to share your M_A story.
