Originally established to offer artists, craftsmen, art teachers, and students opportunities for exchanging ideas and providing an atmosphere in which to improve individual skills, the organization continues this mission and, in addition, presents at the monthly meetings, demonstrations explaining various media such as watercolor, oils, pastels, fabric collage, batik technique, and framing.
Exhibit co-chairs are Joyce V. Garrett and Anne W. Kelly, longtime MAG members who are also co-vice-presidents of the organization. Jill Constantino is president and Jeannette McGee and Ann Marie Morales-Ear serve as secretary and treasurer, respectively.
