The MOS winter event, held in February annually, is our main and primary event which has been in existence for over a decade.
The MOS summer event, held in July, is a brand new secondary event that is being added to our MOS event roster in 2022 that is marketed and promoted digitally only. Unlike our winter event, there is no Opening Celebration and Preview Exhibition, nor is there a printed guidebook for the summer event. Below is a summary of each event. We invite you to participate in both.
The artist registration fee for the MOS 2022 summer event will be based on whether or not you participated in the winter/February event. For 2023, the registration fees will be modified.
