Show Up. Connect. Build Community.
Community engagement is what transforms events into meaningful experiences and helps make the City of Marion a more vibrant and welcoming place to live. When residents show up, support local initiatives, and engage with one another, we begin building the kind of community we can all be proud of together. The Marion Arts Commission can help initiate events, create opportunities, and bring new ideas to our community — but the true success of Marion depends on the participation from the people who call this city home.
Gather at 202
