MAC & SLT Announce Joint Art Exhibition

The Marion Art Center and Sippican Lands Trust (SLT) are partnering up once again to sponsor an exhibition by local artists to highlight the many scenic sites that comprise the Sippican Land Trust’s properties this fall. This is one of several initiatives undertaken by the SLT to encourage visitors to enjoy our properties around Marion.

Local artist, Patty White, will kick off this year’s joint art exhibition with a facilitated plein air session at SLT’s Brainard Marsh on Tuesday, June 19from 10:00 am to noon. White will work with local artists at this session to provide guidance on painting natural landscapes. Please bring your own supplies as no materials will be provided to artists at this session. This session is open to everyone and directions to Brainard Marsh can be found at www.sippicanlandstrust.org.

For the fall exhibition, local artists are invited to submit up to three works, in any media, for a non-juried exhibition to be held at the Marion Art Center from Friday, October 12 through Saturday, November 17. All submitted works must depict scenes of or from SLT properties. The Marion Art Center will receive a commission of 30% on the sale of each piece.
