The Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP)

The MAEP is an artist-controlled exhibition program with a prominent gallery, schedule of exhibitions, and dedicated professional staff at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

This curatorial department is a true study in democracy. Its exhibitions are selected by a panel of artists who are elected by and from their peers at an annual meeting of the artist community, held each fall at the Institute. The process of the MAEP is the result of collaborative action between the artist community of Minnesota and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Since 1975, the program has been fundamentally committed to the perceptions and evaluations of artists, and has produced and presented over 130 exhibitions of contemporary art.


The Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program is an artist-run curatorial department of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts made possible by generous support from the Jerome Foundation.
