The Marietta Arts Council has officially opened its doors to artists and photographers eager to display their work in the great outdoors. The M2R Traveling Fence Gallery aims to take art on the road, parading high-resolution prints of original pieces across Cobb County. Aspiring participants can submit their art for consideration to be part of this yearlong touring exhibition, which will kick off in Downtown Marietta.
Local creatives are offered a chance to potentially reach wider audiences, as the exhibit will migrate from city to city. The schedule begins in Marietta on May 3, and it will proceed to make stops in six additional locations, culminating in Smyrna on April 11, 2026. This gives artists a unique opportunity to not just showcase their work, but to also connect with different communities within the county.
Submission guidelines can be easily found on the Marietta Arts Council's website. Artists looking to apply should act quickly, as this is a timely opportunity to get their art in front of residents and visitors alike. The initiative doesn't just put individual artists in the spotlight; it's also a celebration of the region's collective artistic talent.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for those looking to support the arts in a more financial capacity. Businesses and individuals interested in backing this expansive project can find more information on the Council's website. By involving sponsors, the Marietta Arts Council hopes to draw in extra support and resources to ensure the success of not just the artist showcase, but also the upcoming Mountain to River TrailFest.
