Become a Machias Arts Center Artist!
The Machias Arts Center welcomes artists and artisans who want to share their creativity with our community. Whether you’re an emerging maker or an established artist, our gallery offers a warm, professional space to showcase your work, connect with visitors, and grow your audience. Our application process is simple: submit a small selection of images, choose the commission structure that best fits your needs, and—once accepted—bring in up to six pieces along with any small-sale items you’d like to offer. We handle the hanging, labeling, and presentation so you can focus on creating. If you’re looking for a supportive, community-centered gallery that celebrates local talent, we’d love to have you apply.
Exclusive Perks for Our Gallery Artists
Artists who join the MAC enjoy a range of exclusive opportunities designed to elevate their work and deepen their connection to our creative community. From special event access to featured showcases and teaching opportunities, gallery artists gain far more than wall space — and these are just a few of the perks available.
Special Events
Artists who join our gallery also enjoy special access to MAC events, including discounted or free admission to display at special events. It’s our way of supporting the artists who help make the Center such a vibrant place to create and connect.
Monthly Artist of the Month
Artists in our gallery also have the chance to be featured as our Artist of the Month, a dedicated showcase area that puts a spotlight on your work and introduces you to new audiences. It’s a great way to gain added visibility and celebrate your creative voice within the MAC community.
Demonstrations/Workshops
Artists in our gallery also have the opportunity to lead live demonstrations and hands‑on workshops, sharing their techniques with the community and inspiring new creators. It’s a great way to showcase your skills, connect with visitors, and expand your artistic reach.
