The City of Marquette Arts and Culture Center (MACC) is located in the lower level of the Peter White Public Library.

Opening artist receptions are held by the MACC on
the first Thursday of each month, from 6-8 p.m.

The public is invited to attend and refreshments will be provided.

NOTE: After July 2018, the SmallWorks Gallery became part of a community space & the LSAA Gallery renamed the Deo Gallery (Gallery to the left as come down the stairs) in honor of Jack & Cindy Deo’s years of leadership of LSAA and service to the art community and others. MACC Studios #1 & #2 are used for LSAA workshops, holiday sales, & sometimes exhibits as well.

MACC Studio #1
Studio #1 is the larger, open-space studio under the natural lights. This studio has closed-door options, a sink, counter, & coffee access. Studio #1 is ideal for workshops demonstrations, events, & larger groups.

MACC Studio #2
Formerly known as the “Wave Room”, Studio #2 is a large studio located between Studio #1 and the PWPL Community Room. This room has closed-door options & is ideal for meetings & projector use.

April South-Olson (encaustic & mixed media)

Upper Peninsula artist April South-Olson’s encaustic paintings explore the human connection to the natural world. Within each landscape, Olson aims to capture a single moment in time. Each work in this series is inspired by a pattern or event – the last day at the beach, the first day of school, watching birds fly. The transparency of the material reveals the present moment while illustrating its connection to the fleeting past.
