MAA Showcase

The MAA Online Showcase is a wonderful opportunity for MAA members to create or increase their own web presence and drive interest to their own site. Inclusion of contact information in the Showcase is a free service provided to MAA members. A $10 annual image fee provides additional benefits.

Adding an entry to the Showcase is easy. Merely complete the Showcase portion of the Membership Application with the information you want included in your entry or forward the information to the Showcase email address provided on the MAA "Contact Us" page.

Adding an image to your entry brings the additional benefits of:

• Increasing exposure for you work and adding visual interest to your Showcase entry.
• Making a sample of your work available as part of the random display on the MAA homepage.
• Inclusion in the "Find Art" feature of the Showcase.
• Placement in the "New Art & Artists" section of the Showcase.

To add an image to your entry, include the annual fee with your Membership Application or send a check for your $10 annual image fee to the PO Box address listed on the MAA"Contact Us" page. At the same time send a digital version of the image, in the format described in the Showcase section of the Membership Application, to the Showcase eMail address listed on the "Contact Us" page. Once your fee has been received and processed your image will be added to the Showcase.

At the current time there are no restrictions on how frequently you may change the image associated with your Showcase entry. Refreshing your image will also place your entry on the "New Art & Artists" page.
