The Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP) is a curatorial program of the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) dedicated to exhibiting and supporting artists living and working in the state. The program supports emerging and mid-career artists in realizing their proposed exhibition of new, ongoing, or recently finished artwork.
The MAEP selects exhibitions through a juried competition or Open Call. The program hosts three Open Calls annually in February, June, and October. The MAEP Advisory Committee and Mia staff review applications to select one recipient who will receive up to $13,500 to realize their proposed exhibition in the U.S. Bank Gallery.
