Sidewalk Art Show
On one Saturday in May since 1950, Magnolia has been exposed to and enjoyed art. For 32 years the Sidewalk Art Show was one of the largest attractions to the town of Magnolia. Ms. Marjorie Chamberlain was joined by members of the Sorosis Club, Chamber of Commerce, and Arkansas State Arts and Humanities Department to help make the Art Show a success. Marjorie Chamberlain passed away in 1997. She was an example of what influence one person can have on a community. The Annual Art Show is now held inside the new Magnolia Arts Center, located on the downtown Square. View more about the Sidewalk Art Show and entering your artwork.
