MAFA Artist Galleries in MONROVIA
Our Display Program transforms everyday locations into rotating galleries. By placing original artwork in local businesses and public venues, MAFA creates accessible art experiences for residents and visitors while giving artists meaningful opportunities to exhibit their work. These displays strengthen connectionsbetween artists, businesses, and the broader community.
Each location features changing exhibits by MAFA artists, allowing the community to experience art as part of everyday life.

This permanent gallery represents an innovative partnership between MAFA and the City of Monrovia. MAFA artists install their work in the main hallway and lobby of the Center and it remains on display for three months during the Center’s opening hours of 8 am to 5 pm daily. MAFA receives a 20% donation from each sale that helps support our student art education programs. To participate, see details below. GREY & CASH425 S. Myrtle Ave |

Our gallery here has been in operation for nearly three years, with the restaurant hosting the monthly rotating display and sales of MAFA artists’ work, for which they get to keep 100% of the profit. Though the Artist gets 100%, donations to MAFA are encouraged!
