The Montgomery Art Association (MAA) celebrates more than 200 local artists by producing one of the region’s longest-running and largest art shows. The annual three-day Paint the Town Labor Day Show will take place at the Kensington Historic Armory, 3710 Mitchell St., Kensington, MD, August 30-September 1. The event is free and open to the public.

The judged art show features hundreds of pieces of artwork by member artists from the DC area.
Christopher Addison serves as the judge, recognizing work in nine categories and awarding the esteemed Bertha Clum prize in the Kensington category. All works are for sale, including original paintings, sculpture, and photography as well as prints and notecards in the exhibition’s marketplace. In addition to the main show, MAA will host its annual plein air competition. Local artists will also offer live art demonstrations.

An invitation from MAA’s President, Sylvia Douglin: Paint the Town is back—and this year’s show is
shaping up to be one for the books! The Montgomery Art Association is thrilled to once again partner
with the Town of Kensington to bring you a weekend full of art, community, and celebration.
This beloved event is more than just an art show and sale—it’s a vibrant gathering where creativity
shines, local talent takes center stage, and connections are made around every corner. We’re proud to
feature paintings, drawings, sculptures, digital art, plein air, and photography—all created by local artists right here in the region. Whether you're showcasing your work, adding to your collection, or just soaking in inspiration, Paint the Town offers something for everyone. Come stroll, smile, and celebrate with us.

On grandparents' day, we will have an intergenerational celebration.  You are invited to bring three or more generations of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren to enjoy music and stories. The intergenerational band, The Big Cheese Band, starring Larry Rice and his daughter Lea Mae Camarda, will perform a few traditional folk songs. If we’re lucky, 8-year-old granddaughter Dottie will join them, bringing the band full circle to include three-generations. Following their performance, we will gather together in intergenerational groups so 'grandparents' can read some of their favorite stories to the family.
