Nocturne: A Show of Good Spirits | MCA October Member's Reception

Marion Cultural Alliance is thrilled to announce the seventh annual juried art exhibition, "Nocturne: A Show of Good Spirits", presented by The LILAC Foundation.

JOIN US for our monthly member's reception on Friday, October 3rd from 5 - 6pm at The Brick, home of Marion Cultural Alliance. Remarks and awards will begin at 5:30pm. Followed by the monthly Spoken Word Ocala gathering in the Courtyard from 6:30-7:30pm. Gallery will be open to the public from 6 - 7:30pm during first Friday Art Walk (no RSVP required).

About the Exhibit: As the season shifts and the nights grow longer, Nocturne invites artists to explore the quiet power of darkness, transformation, and inner reflection. This October exhibition embraces mood over menace—focusing on the mysterious, the introspective, and the beautifully strange.

Works for this exhibition might explore themes like: Shadow and light, dreams, liminality, and the in-between, emotional or seasonal change, the beauty of twilight, dusk, or night, and/or the unseen forces that move us—grief, joy, memory, intuition. Local and regional artists can now submit artworks for consideration at https://mcanocturne.artcall.org/ by September 21, 2025.
