The Latest

“Arts and Health Exhibition”

In pARTnership with AIHOM!

Friday, February 7, 2025 | 5 - 6 p.m.

MCA, in partnership with Arts in Health Ocala Metro (AIHOM), is excited to announce our upcoming exhibition focused on the theme of health and wellbeing. We encourage MCA artist members to submit pieces that reflect the theme of “health” or are results of an arts and health initiative. The AIHOM team will guest-curate the selected works to be displayed during the month of February 2025 at MCA’s Brick City Center for the Arts. Thank you to our exhibit sponsors at HCA Florida Healthcare.
The arts can contribute to mental, physical, and community health. We believe that the arts have the power to heal, inspire, and transform, and we are eager to see how artists interpret this vital theme. This exhibit will be on display February 7 through the 28. Some of the proceeds from sales will benefit AIHOM and MCA.

MCA Member’s Reception is open to MCA members & patrons only. RSVP is requested at the door. Doors will open to the general public at 6pm during first Friday Art Walk. For more info and to register, click here. For a list of exhibit events, visit our Eventbrite page.
