“Across the board, the quality of all submitted work was high—original, visually sophisticated, and well crafted—which made selecting work for the show a challenging, yet rewarding experience,” said juror Katherine French. “Congratulations to all the artists selected and to all those who applied to a juried show that is a testament to the Hopkinton Center for the Art’s engagement with the creative community in the MetroWest.”
Of more than 118 entries received for this competitive exhibit, 47 were selected to be displayed at the HCA. The assembled works represent a variety of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, and fiber art.
