Challenge & Show Off Your Creativity

Midwest Marbling’s mission is to advance the art of marbling in the Midwest and beyond through marbling, education, and showing our art. One of the ways we show and grow our art is through member challenges. These challenges are only open to Midwest Marbling members. If you’re interested in joining in, learn more about becoming a member.

September – “Inspired by” – Kick off the fall by sharing a marbled piece inspired by a famous artwork, textile, or design. Think of it as an art history mix.

October – Negative Space – Play with designs where the “empty” areas are as important as the marbled ones. Perfect for a month of shadows and contrasts.

November – Texture Play – Layer marbling with fabric, stitching, embossing, or other tactile elements to give your piece dimension and coziness.
