Teen Night

Monday, May 8, 2017
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM. Free.

You and your friends are invited to explore your local art gallery. Come view the Seventeenth ArtsWorcester Biennial and hear from local artists. Show us your artwork by using #AWTeenNight on Twitter and Instagram. At 6:00 pm, local artists will talk briefly about their artwork. Share your art on Twitter: @ArtsWorcester #AWTeenNight.

Since 1985, the ArtsWorcester Biennial has exhibited the region’s best visual art, with an extraordinary range of works by leading and emerging artists. The juror of this year’s Biennial is Samantha Cataldo, Contemporary Arts Curator at the Currier Museum of Art.  Teens are invited to come view the selected artworks that were chosen out of a pool of over three hundred submissions.

In addition to a $1,000 cash prize, this year’s winner of the Sally R. Bishop Prize for Best In Show will have an installation in the galleries at the Worcester Art Museum in the 2017-18 season, with work selected by one staff member from the museum and the Executive Director of ArtsWorcester in concert with the artist. Prize  winners will be announced at the opening, May 5 (free and open to all).

No RSVP—just show up! Ask your teacher if you can get extra credit!

This event is free and open to all teens. Enjoy art, music, and refreshments.
