Arts in the Park features a select group of local artists and artisans, vetted by the Exhibitions Committee. Goods include baskets, ceramics, clothing, collage, fiber, glass, jewelry, woodworking, painted, and hand-crafted furniture, paintings, photography, and more. The MAC, with grant support from the Marion Cultural Council, sponsors this family-friendly event featuring live music, a food truck, raffle, and free arts activities for kids. Traditionally, activities take place at the Marion Art Center and in Bicentennial Park, directly across the street from the MAC.

Arts in the Park is sponsored in part by grants from the Rochester and Mattapoisett Cultural Councils, local chapters of the Massachusetts Cultural Council. 

Interested in exhibiting at Arts in the Park?

Application review for Arts in the Park begins in January and will close in May. Arts in the Park is curated annually for quality and variety. Two exhibitors may share a booth, but each artist must be accepted through a jury process. Space is limited and artists selected by the committee are admitted on a first come, first serve basis, in order of date of contract and payment receipt. The Exhibition Committee carefully plans the vendor map each year with consideration to variety. No changes will be made the day of the event. Exhibitors agree to donate an original item or group of items to the Arts in the Park raffle. All proceeds benefit the Marion Art Center.

If you would like to be considered, please review all information below and fill out the application located at the bottom of this page. If the application is unavailable, check back early next year!
