Spring and Fall Meetings
Twice a year the association gathers for meetings, usually at Hannah Grimes Center on Roxbury Street in Keene. Programs include updates on association business, workshops, demonstrations and socializing with other members. Refreshments are provided and the get-togethers are free and open to the public.
Member Exhibits
Periodically, Monadnock Area Artists Association members have opportunities to exhibit at unscheduled shows. In 2024, the association invited members to join the July show at the Crowell Gallery in Newfane, VT. This event was volunteer-led and we welcome initiatives like this.
