The Town Center Alliance announced that the M2R (Mountain to River) Traveling Fence Art Gallery is on display in Aviation Park through March 9.

The Town Center Community distributed the following news release:

Town Center Community will host the M2R Traveling Fence Art Gallery in Aviation Park February 10 to March 9. The curated outdoor installation features high-resolution, printed images of original artwork from artists and photographers of all ages.

“This is our third year hosting the gallery,” said Jennifer Hogan, Director, Community. “It takes hard work and collaboration to install and remove the panels, but it is worth it because this is how we create a vibrant community people want to visit.”

Produced by the Marietta Arts Council, the yearly gallery debuts at M2R Trailfest and stays in Marietta for a 60-day exhibition before traveling to different locations throughout Cobb County. Newly printed weather-safe panels are installed at each location on a predetermined schedule.

After visiting Aviation Park, the gallery continues to Concord Road Linear Park and Arboretum in Smyrna, the last stop on the tour.

The Marietta Arts Council is currently accepting applications for the 2024-2025 exhibit until midnight March 24, 2024.
