What's
On

MAFA holds exhibitions regularly throughout the North-West and Yorkshire. Our exhibitions are hosted by galleries and museums across these regions; recent shows have been exhibited at Gallery Oldham, Stockport War Memorial Gallery, The Atkinson and The Whitaker.

We take an innovative approach to exhibition programming, bringing together our diverse range of members work to create interesting and eye-catching displays. Our exhibitions are sometimes led by themes, such as the everyday, or focused on a certain media.
