BEGINNINGS OF TIME, AND OF SELF

Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Public Reception: Origin, a Juried Exhibition

Join us for the public reception of Origin, a juried exhibition created, produced, and juried by our arts administration apprenticeship program Future Arts Workers of Worcester. Works in the showcase explore the selected artist members' interpretation of the word "origin," with some recalling early childhood memories, others exploring the inception of the universe -- and everything in between.

The event is in the third floor Davis Art Gallery, and is free and open to the public.
