Gallery/Dealer Details - Maryland Federation of Art Circle Gallery

About the MFA: The Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) is a nonprofit membership organization of artists and art patrons. MFA’s mission is to provide exhibition and professional development opportunities for artists and to provide arts education and outreach opportunities for all Maryland citizens. The MFA was established in 1963 by US Navy Commander Charles Holley, Mrs. Margaret Fowler, and a group of dedicated Annapolis-area artists interested in developing professional exhibition opportunities for Maryland\'s creative community. As a result of their dedication, the Circle Gallery was founded in Annapolis, Maryland and continues 45 years later as the oldest operating artist gallery in Maryland.

The MFA focuses on encouraging student and emerging artists and strives to meet the developing needs of all artists, at all career stages. In addition to its member-only artist shows, the MFA also hosts solo and small group exhibitions and sponsors regional and national competitions, inviting artists from across the US to submit works for consideration. These exhibitions provide Maryland audiences and the many national and international visitors to the Annapolis-based Circle Gallery with the opportunity to view original work from every region of the country and to expand on their understanding of art.

The MFA’s community outreach over the years has included partnerships with local government agencies and nonprofits to provide at-risk youth, learning disabled adults and many others in the community with art experiences. An example of these efforts is the Critical Exposure exhibition, which presented photographs created by Baltimore City students, which highlighted the disrepair and blighted condition of their school facilities. The youth also were able to portray more clearly their abysmal learning environment to Maryland lawmakers by testifying at State budget committee hearings, held right next door to the Circle Gallery.
