February 5 - October 2021
The annual EMERGING NATIONAL invitational is a coveted and valuable exhibition opportunity for professional artists in the Southeast. Because many of our featured artists from past years are achieving national recognition, the exhibition continues to increase in prominence within the art community. Thanks to the generous support of our corporate sponsors, individual donors, and foundation partners, the MAS has featured 51 extraordinary artists from 7 states and acquired 32 significant works of art for our Permanent Collection since 2013.
