The ART Project

February 20-May 1, 2026

This summer, Market House Theatre is celebrating Art for the Entire Family and we want our community to help bring it to life.

Inspired by the faded Finkel’s ghost paint on the side of our building (“Shoes for the Entire Family”), we’re reimagining the message as ART for the Entire Family. Now we’re inviting you to create your own version of the word ART in your style, your medium, and your imagination.

We’ll feature community submissions throughout the summer, and we’ll select a favorite design to be showcased as a temporary banner on our campus.

How to Participate

  1. Create the word “ART” in your own style using the provided template sheet.
  2. Drop off your artwork for digitialization at Market House Theatre (132 Market House Sq. Paducah, KY). If your work was made digitally, you can email it to caleb@mhtplay.org
  3. All submissions are due May 1, 2026.

Permissions & Release

By submitting, you confirm you created the artwork (or have permission to submit it) and you grant Market House Theatre permission to reproduce and share the artwork for promotional purposes related to MHT and the Art for the Entire Family campaign. Artists will be credited when possible. Submissions will not be returned.
