/ORIGIN
A Juried Exhibition
ArtsWorcester at the Davis Art Gallery
Drop off at ArtsWorcester: April 9 - April 13, 2025
Exhibition run: May 8 - June 29, 2025
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.
Artist members were invited to look back, and share an artwork that incorporated their idea of origin: a birthplace, cultural traditions, history, relationships, personal experiences, trends, or even materials.
Submissions for Origin are now closed.
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.
