As the Northern New Jersey affiliate of the Scholastic Art Awards, MAM partners with the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers to identify and recognize teenagers in grades 7 to 12 with exceptional artistic talent and offers opportunities to gain national recognition and scholarships for their work. Artwork is judged by professional artists and art educators on originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. MAM’s region includes Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union, and Warren counties.
