ArtsWorcester

Registration Deadline: October 19

Drop off period: November 2 - November 5, or earlier by appointment

Exhibition run: November 16 - December 17

Reception: November 17, 6:30 - 9:30

To round out the year, ArtsWorcester members are invited to participate in Scaled Down, a non-juried members’ exhibition of small work. All wall-hanging artworks, including sculptures that go on the wall, may not exceed 10” in any direction, including frame. Artworks that go on a pedestal may be no larger than 12” in height and 10” at the widest point. 

Beyond the size limit, there is no medium or theme requirement. All media are welcome, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, fiber, fine craft, digital art, and video.
 

This exhibition will draw many holiday shoppers, as small gifts of art make wonderful presents (your piece does not have to be for sale, of course). Pieces available for purchase must have a minimum price of at least $100.

$500 in prizes will be awarded at the public reception.
