The Town of Marion is seeking professionals, amateurs, and even people who have never displayed their work before, to submit their work for the 2025 Art Exhibitions planned at the Benjamin D. Cushing Community Center at 465 Mill St.
Anyone interested in displaying art for the exhibitions can contact Director Gregory by phone at 508-748-3570.
There is no cost for artists to display their work and no residency requirement. The only requirement is that artists select work that falls within the exhibition’s monthly themes.
January’s theme is “Stories Behind Images,” and each work of art is accompanied by a written piece describing its inspiration.
February is the youth show, where artists ages 5 to 18 can submit work.
March has a “Welcome Spring” theme with pieces inspired by springtime as we emerge from a long winter.
April’s theme is images of animals, from realistic to fantastical.
May will feature the Bourne-Wareham Art Association.
June invites artists to use mixed media and fabric arts.
July’s theme is “Seaside,” and artists are encouraged to depict what it means to live near the ocean.
August will feature the “Monday Morning Painters.”
September will feature works from the “Canalside Artists.”
October’s theme is “Your Hometown” and asks for images of the South Coast region.
November is all about photography.
December’s theme is “Holiday Smalls,” with a maximum size of 11” x 14”.
There is currently no submission deadline.
Hanging of shows and collection of artworks from the past month’s exhibit will take place on the first Thursday of the month at 9:00 am.
The submitted art will be displayed at the Benjamin D. Cushing Center on a monthly rotation.
“We are thrilled to invite all community members to submit their artwork for our 2025 exhibitions,” Director Gregory said. “This is an incredible opportunity to showcase your creativity and contribute to a vibrant and diverse collection. Whether you’re an established artist or a first-time exhibitor, we encourage you to share your works.”
