CALL FOR ENTRIES: Declaration & Dialogue: Reflections on 250 Years
The Marion Art Center announces a call for entries to its upcoming juried summer exhibition, Declaration & Dialogue: Reflections on 250 Years. As we mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we invite artists to engage deeply with what this milestone means now—through lenses of commemoration, critique, hope, and transformation. This exhibition seeks contemporary works that spark conversation, paired with historic artifacts or artworks on loan from private collections or institutions. All visual media is eligible—painting, sculpture, mixed media, video, or new media. Works should reflect the artist’s personal interpretation of the Declaration’s legacy—its ideals, challenges, complexities, or contradictions. Submissions may or may not offer political or social commentary; entries may reflect personal, aesthetic, emotional, or conceptual interpretations.
Much more information at our website: www.marionartcenter.org/events
Application Deadline: June 1, 2026 | APPLY online
Show Dates: July 10 – August 7, 2026

Art + Play is back - children 2-5 and their caregivers are welcome to the MAC Studio from 9:30 -10:30 am.
We practice process art, which is a playful and explorative approach to creating. Here, the journey is more important than the final product. We believe children learn best through hands-on exploration and experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques. Each class offers several creative opportunities, empowering your child to make their own choices and work at their own pace. We hope to see you there!
Spring 2026 Session 2: May 4, 11, 18, June 1 (no class May 25, Memorial Day)
Session Cost
All 4 weeks: $90 for MAC Members, $105 for nonmembers
