The Beauty of U.S.

May 9, 2026

The Beauty of U.S.

In recognition of the 250th birthday of the United States, the Kennedy Art Center is honored to mark this celebratory moment by featuring works created by the Grant County Art Association. The Beauty of U.S. invites our community, county, and country to grow closer through the shared language of painting, photography, and sculpture. Our goal is to unite us through the beauty found in the United States.

This collection reflects what the GCAA artists love about the United States of America. They captured the awe of natural landscapes, the architectural achievements of manmade structures, and illuminated elements of everyday life. These works spark feelings of wonder, joy, and nostalgia. As you look through the gallery, we invite you to reflect on the unique beauty you find in the places we call home.

The Grant County Art Association (GCAA), a nonprofit organization founded in 1952, is a community of artists and art enthusiasts dedicated to encouraging the active participation in and appreciation of the fine arts. GCAA welcomes interested adults of all skill levels.

To foster public interest and involvement in the arts, GCAA holds two original Art Shows each year in the Marion Public Library. 

For more information, find GCAA on Facebook or Instagram, or email GrantCountyArtAssociation@yahoo.com.

The opening reception for this show will be held May 9th from 1 - 3 PM. The public is welcome. Refreshments will be provided.
