The Marion Arts Festival, showcases the exceptional talent of juried artists from across the region. This free, family-friendly event transforms 7th Avenue and City Square Park into an outdoor gallery, offering a diverse array of fine art, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and more. Beyond the art, attendees can enjoy live music (this is where you come in!), indulge in delicious food from local vendors, and participate in hands on art activities. The Marion Arts Festival is a celebration of artistic expression and community spirit, making it the kick off event of the summer season in Uptown!
As a festival, we understand the importance of live music and aim to curate performances that complement the art. Additionally, the live music at the Marion Arts Festival is not just background noise; it's an active participant in the artistic experience. It adds depth and cultural context, making it a true celebration of the arts!
Sets are 90 minutes in the North Plaza on 7th Avenue in the heart of the festival. Performers are expected to bring their own gear, including sound. You will have access to power.
Music selections are finalized by mid April. Please fill out the form below if you are interested in playing!
