Public Gallery Program

The Public Gallery Program is a partnership between the City of Marquette Arts and Culture and the Peter White Public Library aimed a providing inclusive and accessible exhibit space for both artists and audience. Bi-monthly exhibits rotate in two Peter White Public Library galleries: the Deo Gallery and the Huron Mountain Club Gallery. Exhibits feature fine art created by local and regional artists and curated exhibits that explore locally inspired themes.
