The City of Marquette Office of Arts & Culture is proud to present Art Week 2024

Monday, June 24 through Saturday, June 29

City of Marquette Art Week is an annual event that invites local artists, organizations, and businesses to come together and collaborate on a week-long series of arts and cultural programming, including concerts, workshops, performance, exhibits, demonstrations, and more, free to the Marquette community. 

The mission of Art Week is to build and empower a vibrant community through the arts by building partnerships and collaboration between artists and organizations, growing and empowering artists, and promoting audience engagement by removing barriers to participate with the arts.

This year’s City of Marquette Art Week theme is “Grow”.

Embracing growth in the heart of Marquette, our 2024 theme is inspired by the relocation of the City’s Office of Arts & Culture to the future cultural trailhead and center. We are eager to serve and empower our local community through the continued development of creative opportunities. From City Programs such as Art Week to the Public Art Program, Artists in Excellence to the Annual Art Awards; we invite Marquette to engage with local arts and culture year-round as audience, artists, and advocates.

When dreaming up ideas for this year’s Art Week, consider how “grow” presents itself in your own life. Have you experienced development in your creative practice or perhaps helped others discover new skills? How has Marquette changed in the time you’ve lived here? Have your perspectives shifted in your lifetime? Is there a seasonal element to your growth? What sort of legacy do you hope our community leaves for future generations?

The Office of Arts & Culture extends a huge Marquette thank you to the Michigan Arts & Culture Council for their continued support of Art Week and year-round efforts to encourage, initiate, and facilitate an enriched artistic, cultural, and creative environment in Michigan.
