The Marion Art Center will kick off its 2018 Gallery Season with the Annual Winter Members Show, which will run from Friday, January 12 through Saturday, February 24. All members in good standing of the Marion Art Center are invited to submit three pieces for the non-juried exhibition. Number of pieces hung will be at the discretion of the Marion Art Center Exhibition Committee and is dependent upon total number of pieces submitted, size of the pieces, and available wall space. Art pieces must be appropriately matted, framed and ready to hang (with hanging wire on the back affixed securely to the frame with eye hooks; no sawtooth hangers will be accepted) and must not have been shown at MAC previously. Drop-off for member artwork will take place on Tuesday, January 9, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Although not required, the Marion Art Center would appreciate hearing ahead of time from those planning to exhibit by emailing your name, a photo of an art piece you plan to exhibit, along with a short bio about yourself (no more than 150 words) to marionartcenter@verizon.net.
A reception will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 pm on Friday, January 12 for participating artists and their guests. The body of work in the exhibition is anticipated to represent more than 40 artists, and to include watercolors, oils, acrylics and pastel paintings, as well as photographs, collage, and wood carvings. The Marion Art Center is a not-for-profit organization located at 80 Pleasant Street, Marion, MA 02738. The gallery and opening reception are free and open to the public.
