Final ‘First Thursdays Art Walk happening today in Marquette

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - It’s the final First Thursdays Art Walk of the season in Marquette.

At least 10 artists will be showing off their finished work, and demonstrating the process, until 8 pm.

The walks were brought to Marquette in June by Joe Graci of Graci Gallery.

Participating artists say the walks increased their exposure, sales, and contacts.

Given the success of the monthly events, organizers are planning a Holiday Art Walk.

“I hope that visitors have an opportunity to see the extent to which art and creativity is present in our community. That’s an important part of who we are in Marquette.” says participating artist Ann Russ of Ann Russ Ceramics.
