The Marion Art Center’s annual outdoor artisan market, Arts in the Park, returns to Bicentennial Park in Marion on Saturday, July 8, 10am-4pm. A rain date is scheduled on Sunday, July 9. The park is across the street from the MAC, which is located at 80 Pleasant Street in Marion, at the corner of Main and Pleasant.
The curated event will feature over forty five artists and artisans from across the region and includes many new vendors this year. Goods include ceramics, clothing, collage, fiber, glass, jewelry, woodworking, painted, and hand-crafted furniture, paintings, photography, and more. Shop for gifts, fine art and handmade goods, grab lunch or ice cream, listen to live music by Richard Lewis and Molly O’Leary, and bring the kids for free games and craft activities on the MAC lawn. Visit the MAC galleries throughout the day to see the new exhibit, Illuminations, featuring artists Tamalin Baumgarten and Meredith Leich. The MAC booth will feature paintings by artist Alyn Carlson. Visitors can enter for a chance to win prizes from the raffle featuring original artwork from each vendor.
