The Michiana Annual Art Competition, MAAC, is a local juried fine art exhibition intended to recognize, foster, and reward excellence of artists in Southwestern/Western Michigan and Northern Indiana. The MAAC is held annually at the Box Factory for the Arts in St. Joseph, Michigan and is supported by our association members, area businesses, and corporate sponsors.
Entrants who are residents of the following counties will be given preference: Allegan, Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, Van Buren, Barry, Kent, Ottawa and Muskegon counties in Michigan; and Lake, Porter, LaPorte, St. Joseph and Elkhart counties in Indiana.
Entrants may submit up to two works of art, which must be original in concept and execution, created within the past three years, and not previously exhibited at the Box Factory for the Arts.
Each entry has a non-refundable fee of $25 for one piece and $40 for two. Preferred payment method is through online or check made out to the Berrien Artist Guild. See payment links on webpage.
This year the photography categories will be combined into one including both color and black/white. The painting category will be split into three categories (oil, acrylic and water-based). The other categories artists can submit works under are fiber arts (weaving/quilting/knit/crochet/baskets), 3D (sculpture/glass/ceramics/assemblages), drawing (pastels/pencils/pen and ink/printmaking) and mixed media.
