Mt. Airy Art Garage, 11 W. Mt. Airy Ave.

Art and culture lovers of Philadelphia, it's time to do your civic duty! Mt. Airy Art Garage needs community members from all backgrounds to lend their time and brain power to solve MAAG's unexpected dilemma. On August 31, the organization's lease will expire with no option to renew. Now, this great arts hub is in need of community support to help determine next steps in finding a new home and hiring paid staff. 

As an incubator for both professional and emerging artists, MAAG has served as a creative resource center, bringing together creators and art lovers. Be sure to come out to this critical community meeting and use your skills to help solve this problem!
