MARC Artists Exhibition Planned

To inaugurate our new Residency site and to celebrate MARC's long history of artists' residencies on the Island, the Board will host MARC at 20, a one-week exhibition of work by Artist Fellows from the past 20 years. The show will be on view in the new studio space on Monhegan from August 21 to August 27, just prior to the beginning of the five-week Residency August 28 to October 2.

The exhibition will mark the first time that work by MARC Artist Fellows has been shown together on Monhegan Island. It is also an occasion for acknowledging the Island 's important role, both as a place of incomparable natural beauty and as “host” to over 40 emerging Maine artists who have qualified for the MARC Artist Residency Program. Works of art by more than 35 participating MARC artists will be for sale, with part of the proceeds being donated back by the artists to support future residencies. The Board wishes to thank John and Winnie Murdock for donating the studio space for the period of the exhibition		Photo by Joe Kievitt
