The Marblehead Arts Association has unveiled its third annual “Variations” exhibit, featuring artists from around the United States, including California, Texas, Florida, and right here in Marblehead.
“The pieces are some of the best we’ve ever had here and together the collection is wonderful,” said MAA Executive Director Xhazzie Kindle.
MAA Board President Jim Murphy agrees. “I’ve seen all the entries and think “Variations 2025” will showcase some of the best works we have ever exhibited.”
