A rare opportunity awaits Marion residents and visitors May 23.

An art show will showcase local professional and youth artists at the newly-renovated former Elgin Hotel now known as the Historic Elgin Bed & Breakfast.

Members of mYac, Marion Youth Advancement Committee, are sponsoring the event with various mediums on display including pottery, photography, metal sculpture, woodwork, watercolors, oils, charcoal, and art and crafts items.

All artwork will be on display noon to 4 p.m., which includes a silent auction for some pieces. A live auction and evening social will be 6 to 8 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and drinks served.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the mYac organization as it continues its mission to purchase a building and develop a program for youth.
