MARION — The Marion Art Center will be opening a new exhibit, the High School Art Show, with a virtual reception on March 12.

Student artists featured in the gallery come from Old Rochester Regional High School, New Bedford High, Tabor Academy, and ORR Junior High. The exhibit features works by nearly thirty young artists. 

The MAC is also working with Tri-Town Against Racism to showcase entries to the anti-racist organization’s recent creative expression contest held during Black History Month, based on the theme “Beyond Martin and Rosa”. 

Nearly forty works will be displayed as an online exhibit on the MAC’s website at marionartcenter.org/virtual-mac, and a small selection of works can be viewed in person at the Marion Art Center and in the MAC’s window display at the Marion General Store. 

Gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. day, or other times Tuesday through Friday by appointment. There will be a virtual reception on Friday, March 12 from 5:00-6:00pm. 

Those who would like to attend should email info@marionartcenter.org with “Virtual Reception” in the subject line no later than Thursday, March 11. 

Attendees will be sent a Zoom link prior to the virtual event. Both exhibits run through Thursday, April 15.
