FEATURED EXHIBITS

During the months of March and April, the Worcester County Arts Council is pleased to present "Peace,” an exhibit featuring all media entries submitted by emerging and established artists for the juried art competition.

Artwork for the competition was reviewed and judged by local artist, art educator, and Arts Council Board Member, KATE CASHMAN.

The goal of this competition was to challenge creatives to delve into the multifaceted concept of peace and bring it to life through their unique artistic vision.

Peace is a universal ideal, yet its meaning varies deeply from person to person. Through this competition, artists were encouraged to interpret peace in ways that resonate with them - whether it's the quiet stillness of nature, the resilience of communities coming together, or the personal pursuit of balance and healing.

The exhibit features 13 artists and 21 entries that display the personal and creative interpretation of emotional, spiritual, and societal dimensions of Peace.

Winners were announced on Friday, March 14 at the evening’s reception.

The exhibit will be on display from March 1 - April 27, 2025.
