Art at City Hall Features “Travel: Oh, the Places You’ve Been”

The City of Marco Island is pleased to announce a new art display at City Hall. According to Casey Lucius, Assistant City Manager, the theme is “Travel: Oh, the Places You’ve Been.”  The City will host an Open House on the fourth Wednesday of each month beginning June 22nd from 4:30 to 5:30 PM for the public to view the current exhibit. 

Art at City Hall celebrates local artists displaying their work inside City Hall and highlighting Marco Island’s unique environment and the creativity of our local talent. Every three to four months, there is a new theme and a call to artists is sent out soliciting artworks that align with that theme.

Thanks to all the artists who contributed to the current exhibit: Ann Megna, Austin Bell, Karen McEwen, JoAnn Brandau, Nancy Norman, Lynn David Nathanson, Pamela Shudes, Joseph Parisi, Barbara Parisi, Judith Chinski, James Robellard, David Fuller, Robert Kenedi, Barbi Dalton and Mary Pat Palombo. For additional information about how to participate in Art at City Hall, please contact Casey Lucius at clucius@cityofmarcoisland.com.

The Welcome to City of Marco Islandsignage is the island’s official greeter for all the residents and visitors of Marco Island. When first installed, it was made from composite material that required less maintenance. Over time, the iconic eagle in the welcome sign was becoming less and less visible. Assistant City Manager Casey Lucius drives into Marco every day from Naples and she had noticed the faded feathers were light gray with the original in dark brown.

It was briefly discussed in passing during the Art at City Hall intake process last week and artist Nancy Norman took her paint and brushes and gave the Eagle a much needed make-over. Nancy has been involved with Art at City Hall both as a curator and an exhibitor since the quarterly exhibit began over two years ago.
