The exhibit runs through Sept. 5, putting varying works of diversity and skill on display.

The Museum of Art will host an opening night reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at 30 Atlanta Street SE in downtown Marietta. The event will feature a cash bar and refreshments catered by Carriage House Catering.

An anonymous panel of jurors selected first-, second- and third-place winners as well as two honorable mentions. The winning artworks will be announced during Saturday’s grand opening.
