Arts in the Park, sponsored by The Marion Art Center (the MAC), returns on Saturday, July 7, to Bicentennial Park from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Arts in the Park is a juried, outdoor art festival with dozens of talented artists and artisans exhibiting in a magical park setting with food and entertainment.
Come see one-of-a-kind ceramics, clothing, furniture, jewelry, paintings, and photography accompanied by live music from the Dixie Diehards quartet. For families, find kids’ art activities at the New Bedford Art Museum NBAM ArtMobile. Plan on staying for lunch; either choose Mahoney’s Food Cart on-site or check out the cafes and eateries in town. Before leaving, make sure to buy a raffle ticket to win one of the donated works by the exhibitors. All proceeds benefit the MAC.
Just visiting Marion’s New England seaside village, with its historic homes, charming shops, and stunning harbor, is an elixir for a wonderful summer day, made only better by a remarkable outdoor art festival. Since the MAC is across the street from the park, you can pop in to see the Cecil Clark Davis collection of portraits in the theatre and to experience the exciting work of our current exhibiting artist, Deborah Quinn-Munson, in both galleries.
Bicentennial Park is at the corner of Main and Spring Streets in Marion, MA, 02738. The rain date is Sunday, July 8th. This event is free and open to the public.
