Call for Artists - MRHC Holiday Art Sale

We are excited for the 2023 Holiday Art Sale happening again at the Marquette Regional History Center. 2022 was a fantastic year with over 1,000 shoppers and we anticipate a great year for 2023.

The History Center is a destination, providing holiday shoppers a beautiful space to shop the juried artist’s sale, visit world class exhibits, an old-fashioned bake sale, MRHC membership drive and other surprises, too.
