Description of Exhibit: Marion Cultural Alliance (MCA) is thrilled to announce its upcoming Color Pop! art exhibition, an exciting opportunity for local artists to showcase their vibrant and dynamic creations. We invite artists from all backgrounds to submit their most colorful and imaginative works for display, celebrating the power of color in art. This exhibition aims to highlight the diverse talents within our community, offering a platform for both emerging and established artists to share their unique visions. Join us in making this a memorable event by submitting your artwork and adding a pop of color to The Brick!

Medium requirements: We invite and encourage ALL artists in any medium to participate. Work can be 2D or 3D, including but not limited to paintings, drawings, textiles, photography, sculpture, pottery, collage, metalwork, fabrics, glass, wood, or stonework.
