The Hoard Historical Museum in Fort Atkinson will be hosting the Mary Hoard Art Show with patrons attending in person this year, according to a recent news release.

Founded by Mary Cunningham Hoard in 1961 and known first as the Fort Atkinson Art Exhibit, the Mary Hoard Art Show is celebrating its 60th show this year, the release noted.

“The past two years, the art show pivoted to a virtual show due to COVID-19. We are excited to be able to have this year’s show in person again and to celebrate the 60th community art show held here in Fort Atkinson. Our show is one of the longest running community art shows in the state and we should celebrate it,” Merrilee Lee, director of the Hoard Historical Museum, was quoted as saying in the release.

According to the release, the 2022 Mary Hoard Art Show will take place at two separate times to accommodate all artists eligible to enter their artwork.
