Home is the warmth of a familiar chair by the fireside.

Home is the laughter of a loved one and the loose fibers of a knit sweater stretched thin in the elbows.

Home is a place you rest your weary soul and where you allow a breath of safe relief. Home is the heritage in your veins and the cultural practices passed on. Home flows through the water mains and grows in the native dune grasses. Home is a place that can be lost and found. 

Home is Art Week 2023.

This year’s Art Week theme is Home. What does Home mean to you? Is it a place, or a feeling? Is it something that you find, or something that you make? What makes Marquette feel like Home? What could make it feel more like Home? We encourage you to think creatively about how the arts can articulate what Home means to you and the community we share.

This theme was inspired in large part by the City of Marquette’s ongoing Community Master Plan Update. The Community Master Plan will provide a long-term vision for Marquette and guide the growth of our community. What values define Marquette? How do we navigate our space and where do we spend our time? What stories do we tell when asked about our home here? Which places are “must visits” when welcoming a new resident? How can we improve our community and what sort of place do we want to build for future generations?
