Arts in Bloom 2019
Exhibition Overview
June 4—July 18, 2019
Reception and Prize Announcements: Thursday, June 13, 6:00 – 7:30pm
This, the fourteenth year we've hosted our popular seasonal art show is the most competitive yet. 174 artworks were considered for the exhibit by juror Christine O’Donnell, Owner and Gallery Manager of Beacon Gallery in Boston. Christine chose 40 pieces. These include a wonderful variety: traditional paintings and photographs, monoprints, ceramics, fabric/paper/metal mixed media, and pigment transfer prints. Featuring the work of 32 artists, there is surely something here for everyone!
Be sure to join us on June 13th at 6pm for a lively reception. We will announce the winners of six cash prizes totaling over $1,000. The galleries will be graced with stunning floral arrangements inspired by the winning artworks. Created by members of the Hopkinton Garden Club, they will be on display the evening of the reception through June 18th.
> Check out Thoughts on Art by Christine O'Donnell for her musings about the prize-winning artworks.
