Thank you for supporting the museum and helping us continue bringing art, education, and community programming to our region. Your membership makes a difference!

The Masur Museum of Art is proud to partner with The Crawl, a recurring downtown arts and culture event that invites the community to explore local creative spaces after hours. During each Crawl, the museum stays open in the evening so visitors can experience our exhibitions alongside other participating venues throughout downtown Monroe. It’s a great opportunity to discover art, connect with the community, and make the Masur part of your night out.

About the Artists:

Marlisa Dunn creates paintings that translate sensory memory and natural experience into layered, rhythmic landscapes. Drawing from the sounds, scents, and textures of her surroundings, she paints with collage-like construction—mixing hand-ground earth pigments and gestural oil stick marks to preserve fleeting impressions of place. Her work has been exhibited at the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art (Wisconsin), the Richard M. Ross Art Museum (Ohio), the Springfield Museum of Art (Ohio), the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts (California), and the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
