The Marion Art Center is pleased to announce the launch of its new website. For many months the MAC has been working closely with the talented team at Design Principles of Marion to bring its visitors a fresh, interactive, user-friendly experience. See the Marion Art Center as it truly is – a vibrant, growing organization in the SouthCoast community. The MAC expresses its gratitude for the enormous generosity of the donors who made this project possible.
The MAC continues to promote creativity and conversation through a new endeavor called “the Virtual MAC”. While the Marion Art Center is closed to the public, you can stay connected through the MAC’s social media platforms (Instagram: @marionartcenter and Facebook: www.facebook.com/marionartcenter) and by visiting their new website at www.marionartcenter.org. Through these outlets, the MAC is featuring works of art, interviews, inspirational videos, and links to partner and community organizations. Stay engaged by submitting to the call for entries for an online gallery titled “Living Uncertainty.” The call remains open while the MAC is closed to the public, and new entries will be added weekly.
The current national and global situation has left many of us with immediate, unexpected challenges without knowing how to plan for the weeks and months ahead. Many feel isolated or worried about the future. Others are taking time exploring and making art, becoming closer with family, or experimenting in the kitchen – even if out of necessity. How are you coping creatively with this new social structure? How does it change for you day-to-day?
The MAC invites anyone to participate in “Living Uncertainty”. All forms of creative expression are welcome – poems or journal entries, visual arts, recipes, music, creative projects, and more. Entries will be featured in a virtual gallery on the MAC’s new website at www.marionartcenter.org/virtual-mac. Participants should submit all entries (high-resolution photos when possible) via email with the subject line “Living Uncertainty” to director@marionartcenter.org. Submissions should include information about the artist or creator and include a brief description about the artwork(s) when applicable. Share your ideas to become part of the conversation.
