Material Needs 2024
September 5 through October 20, 2024
ArtsWorcester Main Galleries
Public reception: Wednesday, September 4, 6:00-8:00 PM at our Annual Celebration
During the past year, 8 artists have been busy making use of the Material Needs Grant they won in 2023. Those awards, ranging from $500 to $1,500, fund the cost of supplies required to make new artwork in Worcester County. A year and a half later, awardees exhibit their completed artwork in a group exhibition.
The 2023-2024 grants funded a variety of materials, such as printmaking supplies, large wooden panels, transparent paper, and spray paint. This year’s exhibition includes portraits of Worcester residents in a street art style, large-scale paintings that document the beauty of the mundane, a multi-media installation of digitally scanned plant imagery, and more.
David Wesley White: Performance Politics
October 3 through November 17, 2024
ArtsWorcester at the Davis Art Gallery
Public reception and Artist Talk: Wednesday, October 9, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
The meticulously crafted sculptures, videos, and performances of David Wesley White present a surreal story of politics in the United States. American Presidents are an elusive cast of characters, subject to both scrutiny and worship. In an experimental and exaggerated approach to presidential mythology and imagery, White questions whether the intention of public service will always fall victim to a cult of personality and thirst for power. The installation warns of a dystopian political future ruled by money, AI, and nostalgic masculinity.
