The Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) is different from other art galleries in the area because it is a non-profit membership organization made up of both artists and art enthusiasts. MFA's Circle Gallery features one show a month, which rotates between national juried exhibitions and member shows featuring local artists. The member shows are important because they give local artists in the community without gallery representation the opportunity to showcase their work. Established in 1963, The Maryland Federation of Art is the "oldest, continuously run" nonprofit art organization in the state.
