A week of art and cultural events returns to the City of Marquette, with the 2022 edition of Art Week.
Starting at dawn on Monday, June 20th with a Sunrise Opening Ceremony, the City of Marquette presents its most ambitious Art Week yet. This year's theme is water, with artists responding to Lake Superior and our surrounding watersheds. Events throughout the week include exhibits, concerts, workshops, and more, and the schedule includes daily events and weeklong installations.
