Grant County Art Association opens annual art show this Saturday

The Grant County Art Association will host its annual Spring Open Art Show this Saturday at the  Marion Public Library. 

“There’s always some absolutely amazing work in there, and they have everything from photography to watercolor, you know, kind of a neat combination of different media,” Librarian Barbara Enslen said. 

The categories include oil, acrylic, watercolor, drawing, mixed media and photography. Winners of each category will receive cash prizes. 

Laurie Gates, Grant County Art Association secretary said she is excited for this year’s show. 

“Every year is a little different, we never know if we’re gonna have more oils, more acrylics, more watercolors or what,” Gates said. 

Last year, Judy Keilholtz, a Grant County Art Association member won best of show. 

“This year I’ve been too busy to really put much into the show but I’m looking forward to seeing all the other artist’s work,” Keilholtz said. 

Adults 18 and older can enter up to six pieces.Each entry costs $10 and must be submitted on April 5, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the second floor of the Marion Public Library. 

Entry forms are available at the Marion Public Library reference desk or can be requested by emailing grantcountyartassociation@yahoo.com. 

The art will be on exhibit from April 5 through May 1, 2025.
