Welcome to the Maryland Federation of Art.

Who we are

Founded in 1963, MFA is the oldest artist-run organization in Maryland, dedicated to expanding artistic expression and appreciation. Our 450+ members organize 20 to 25 juried and non-juried exhibitions each year, featuring the work of local and national artists.

What we do

Circle Gallery, home to MFA, is the oldest art gallery in Annapolis, presenting rotating national juried exhibitions, member juried exhibitions, and non-juried opportunities for member artists. Circle Gallery also collaborates with underserved populations to provide art instruction, outreach, and professional gallery exhibition.
