Origin: A Juried Exhibition

/ORIGIN

A Juried Exhibition

ArtsWorcester at the Davis Art Gallery

Deadline: March 13, 2025

Drop off at ArtsWorcester: April 9 - April 13, 2025

Exhibition run: May 8 - June 29, 2025

All ArtsWorcester members are invited to submit to Origin, the first juried exhibition produced by the Future Arts Workers of Worcester.

Everything starts somewhere. From childhood and lineage, to old stories and ancient myths, everything hails from an original point: a time in which the things we know began, and a time in which we ourselves began.

Look back, and share an artwork that incorporates your idea of origin: a birthplace, cultural traditions, history, relationships, personal experiences, trends, or even materials.

This is a juried exhibition, meaning that the jurors will consider all eligible submissions and select some artworks to be shown at ArtsWorcester. All artist members may submit up to three pieces for consideration. Submission is free for ArtsWorcester members, and membership to ArtsWorcester is required. All media are welcome including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, fiber, fine craft, digital art, and video. 

Origin will be juried, designed, and installed by the high school students participating in our Future Arts Workers of Worcester program. Artwork will be handled by students under the supervision of ArtsWorcester staff. 

Photography of the Future Arts Workers of Worcester are by Nathan Fiske Photography. Have a question about these calls, or want to share what you’re thinking of submitting? Email Alice Dillon or call the gallery at 508-755-5142.
