FEATURED EXHIBITS

SEPTEMBER 3 - NOVEMBER 3 “SCAPES” JURIED SHOW

During September and October, the Worcester County Arts Council is pleased to present: "Scapes,” a juried art competition and exhibit featuring 33 entries submitted by 23 artists with work in all media.

The goal of this competition was to encourage artists to interpret their representation of “Scapes” in a literal form such as landscape, cityscape, or waterscape, as well as challenge them to explore it further through the concept of mindscape, moonscape, or bodyscape in their creative process.

Entries in this competition were judged by local artist and former art educator, Marie A. Cavallaro.

Monetary prizes were awarded during an open-to-the-public reception on September 13.

In addition to the featured exhibit, new artwork created by thirty local artists and Gallery members is also on display and available for sale.
