Open the Door Artist Call

Marquette County Habitat for Humanity is inviting local artists, creators, students, and community members to help transform ordinary doors into inspiring works of art for our 2026 Open the Door Campaign!

This unique community art initiative will feature creatively painted doors displayed throughout the community to raise awareness about the importance of safe, affordable housing in Marquette County.

Whether you are a professional artist, hobby painter, art student, or creative community member — we want our vision and creativity!

Painted or mixed-media doors that reflect themes such as:

• Home
• Hope
• Local Community
• Belonging
• Opportunity
• Strength & Resilience
• “Opening the Door” to brighter futures

 WHAT HABITAT PROVIDES
