CALLING ALL ARTISTS!

The Manchester Arts Center is seeking local artists to display work in our lobby gallery. We love to showcase artists of all types from our region.

Also, if you are an artist with work currently on display, we need your help to update our records. By the end of the year, we would like to compile a list of contact information for the work presently hanging on the walls, as many pieces are currently unidentified.
Any work left unclaimed by December 31 will be considered property of the MAC.

If you are one of our current artists, or someone looking to find a place to display your artwork, please reach out to our art committee chairperson, Mollie Metts at [email protected]
