The McEachern Art Center (MAC) in Macon, Georgia, has opened its 2026 Summer Art Exhibition, featuring eight artists—Jenni Horne, Isabel Neely, Wendy DesChene, Reed Gallo, Meredith Ochoa, Craig Coleman, Jeff Schmuki, and Hannah Mock. The exhibition, which runs from June 5 to July 19, showcases a diverse range of materials, processes, and conceptual approaches, emphasizing experimentation in contemporary art-making. Alongside the exhibition, the MAC has relaunched its membership program, offering benefits such as early access to exhibitions, discounts on merchandise and artwork, and support for student learning and gallery programming.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the role of process and experimentation across different career stages, providing a platform for both emerging and established artists in a regional context. The relaunch of the membership program underscores the MAC's commitment to sustaining its mission of presenting contemporary art and creating educational opportunities for the Macon community, reinforcing the importance of local arts institutions in fostering cultural engagement.
