Our Community Impact
Investing in Metal Artists
MAG expands access to education and professional development through grants and scholarships for metal artists at different stages of their careers.
In the past five years, MAG and our generous donors have awarded 37 grants and scholarships, ranging from $500 - $3,000.
Funding to support this Community Impact program has come from your membership dues, the Maxwell Hanrahan Foundation, Barbara M. Berk, and Lynn and Kent Raible.
Build real skills you can bring back to your own studio practice. Meet your metalsmithing heroes! ~Harriete Estel Berman
