In announcing the event, exhibit chairman, Jay Kacena, said that that last year’s event, which attracted over 700 visitors, confirmed the fact that "not only are there a lot of talented people in our town, there is a strong interest by others who enjoy seeing what they can do." Many of the works will be offered for sale. </p><p>A special display, dubbed "Repeat, Repeat and Repeat", features six interpretations of the same subject, painted by six different members of the Creative Artists Group along with the photograph on which the work is based.</p><p>As in the past, opening day admittance to the exhibit will be FREE due to the sponsorship of Hills Bank and Trust Company. Visitors will be invited to vote for their favorite entry and cash prizes will be awarded for the three most popular artists when the show closes on Saturday, May 30, 2020. </p><p>The Marion Heritage Center is located at 590 10th Street in Marion.

A sense of whimsy runs through many of the pieces: salt and pepper shakers become snow globes, a music box exhorts us to be silent. Many works also have a sociopolitical focus, addressing issues as varied as slavery, AIDS, and gender identity. Taken together, the Norton Family Christmas Project objects and artists’ books provide a wonderful snapshot of the last thirty years of activity in the art world at large, presenting the work of both emerging and more established artists. The 2018 edition of the Norton Family Christmas Project was the last and ended the series.</p> 2020-03-06 16:00:00 -0600
