Montgomery Art Association Returns to Wheaton Mall

Westfield Wheaton is leasing a new gallery space to the MAA, on the lower level of the mall, across from Dick's Sporting Goods.

Only a few hours after the Montgomery Art Association opened the doors on its new gallery space in Westfield Wheaton on Friday, artist Julie Smith sold her first painting. "It's a good omen," said Smith, an MAA member from Olney. "I hope we're here for a while." MAA left the mall in April after Westfield Wheaton determined that it wanted the space to be available for businesses attracted by the incoming Costco, whose scheduled Oct. 18 opening has been delayed.

Painting outdoors, on-site, also became a Kensington Labor Day weekend tradition. The Montgomery Art Association "Paint the Town" show features a Kensington award category, which goes out to a work of art depicting Kensington. This year's first…
