Origin: A Juried Exhibition
ArtsWorcester, Worcester, MA
| |
Join us for the public reception
Origin: A Juried Exhibition
On view through June 29
Spend tomorrow evening exploring Origin, a juried exhibition that encouraged artists to share their own origin stories. Participating artists reflected on their childhoods, depicted key figures in their lives, and imagined stories of the universe for this first-of-its-kind exhibition.
What makes Origin original? It acts as the first-ever capstone exhibition produced by the Future Arts Workers, fifteen high school students from the Worcester Public Schools. They worked together to create the call, collaborated to select works for the exhibition, and learned the ropes of all things arts administration from industry professionals. Plus, they'll present prizes of their own selection at the reception. You won't want to miss it!
The reception takes place in the third-floor Davis Art Gallery at ArtsWorcester. The exhibition is currently on view during gallery hours, Thursday through Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM each day through June 29.

Make Art at Main Street Studios
Fitchburg, MA
| |
Do you get inspired by fellow artists? Would the company of other creatives motivate you to work on an idea or abandoned project?
Come to Main Street Studios on Tuesday evenings. We have plenty of work space for you to set up with your writing, painting, knitting, etc.
We will socialize for a half hour-ish and then have a quiet hour or two to do the work. If you are inclined to share at the end of the evening - or the end of the summer, you are welcome to do so. But that is not required.
Main Street Studios has coffee/tea/water and maybe a few snacks. There are also options for delivery if you want to order dinner.
The point of this evening is to have fun and employ a little gentle peer pressure to kick aside those creative blocks. If you have any questions, send us a message or leave a comment in the event. You can also email studios@fitchburgculturalalliance.org.
