MSAA is very proud to present our 2013 Art Showcase – celebrating the work of artists affected by MS.
We have received many wonderful submissions from across the country and are delighted to share their work and their stories with you. Please visit our online gallery to view all of the MSAA Art Showcase submissions.
November 2013 Artist of the Month:
Julie Crow – Damascus, VA
From the Artist:
“After a couple of really bad falls from lack of balance and coordination, resulting in hip pins and a broken pelvic bone, my companion, Gino, an accomplished oil painter, brought some pastel pencils and a drawing pad to the hospital for me to have something to focus all of my energy on while I was immobilized. In the hospital and inpatient rehab, I drew pictures of friend’s pets and relatives. The baby is a friend’s first grandson, and I drew this from a photo taken at the beach. She was always there for me during the hard times. I have also drawn a few others for folks to show my appreciation for their time and their love. I’ve created a Circle of Hope link with MSAA…the amazing thing is that I’ve never painted or drawn. I truly could not draw a stick man before this last incident. I haven’t lately due to some problems, but am hopeful for tomorrow.”
Calling All Artists with MS:
It’s that time of year – MSAA is now accepting submissions for our 2014 Art Showcase! If you haven’t already done so, submit your best artwork by December 16th 2013 for a chance to be a part of next year’s Art Showcase.
Submit your artwork for the 2014 MSAA Art Showcase.
When do you start accepting works for artist of the month? I’m not sure when I can send in something that might have a chance to be published for artist of the month and I would like to know when I can send it in. Thank you very much, and I absolutely love your magazine.
Hi Deborah!
The submission period for our annual Art Showcases is unfortunately closed at the moment. We will begin the art submission process for our 2020-2021 Art Showcases in the fall of 2019. Please check back with us in the fall, and we would be happy to guide you through the process of submitting your artwork!
And we are so glad to hear that you love our magazine!
Thank you,
Emily, from MSAA
