BOSTON – A new collection of artwork curated by Framingham’s Fountain Street Studios will be displayed in the Senate Lobby of the State House through the end of July, Senator Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) announced. The exhibit is the first in a series of rotating art displays from districts across the Commonwealth.
“I am proud to showcase the talent of MetroWest artists in the State House,” said Senator Spilka. “The MetroWest creative economy is thriving, and these artists are terrific ambassadors for our arts and culture scene. We’re kicking off the Senate’s new art series with a beautiful collection of local artwork, for the enjoyment of people from across the Commonwealth.”
“On behalf of Fountain Street Studios, we thank Senator Spilka, her wonderful staff and of course the outstanding team at the Massachusetts State House for welcoming our art exhibition at the Senate Lobby. We hope the general public enjoys our exhibition which offers a wide variety and sampling of recent works by Fountain Street Studios fine artists,” said Jorie Anderson, fine artist and Board Member of Fountain Street Studios.
The exhibit includes over twenty pieces created by a group of accomplished Fountain Street Studios artists. The featured artwork reflects a variety of mediums and styles, including oil, acrylic, photography and mixed media.
Fountain Street Studios, representing over sixty individual and unique artists and artisans is located in the historic Bancroft Building at 59 Fountain Street in Framingham. Since its inception in the 1990s, Fountain Street Studios has grown to become a non-profit whose primary missions are to support and promote each artist/artisan as an individual small business and to work together to make positive connections throughout the greater MetroWest community through the arts. Fountain Street Studios members are available individually and can be reached through the www.fountainstreetstudios.com website and on the Fountain Street Studios Facebook page.
The exhibit is the first installment in a new Senate effort to showcase art from across the state through temporary exhibits of local artwork, coordinated by Senators from each Senate district. The Fountain Street Studios exhibit will be featured in the Senate Lobby until July 31st.
