artists on fire
The "Artists on Fire" opening will be at the Hot Night in the City, curated by Juniper Rag, in the Krikorian Gallery on July 21 at 4 pm. The show will run from 7/21 to 8/12. "Artists on Fire" will feature artists, showing three pieces of work with all art for sale for $200. This is a great way to add some of the hottest work in central Massachusetts to your art collection or an excellent opportunity to begin one! Artists that normally sell for thousands will have work in this show, and emerging artists will have a chance to hang with the best.
All the artwork will be for sale for the price of $200. No commission fees will be collected. 100% of sales go to the artists.
Curated by Juniper Rag.
Mary & Van Aroian Community Gallery
The Community Gallery, sponsored by the Aroian Family, and dedicated to Mary and Van Aroian, allows other nonprofits and community members a chance to display their work. Local nonprofit's art will be showcased in our Community Gallery at the Hot Night in the City.
Celebrating the “hot” processes and traditions of craft creation, the Worcester Center for Crafts’ Hot Night in the City practically combusts each summer with music, food, drinks, the opening of an exhibit, and fun around the flames. All are welcome as we explore the hot processes of craft in and outside of the Center.
The dusk darkness dissipates as Craft Center artists demonstrate their profession in our studios. There is a lot of hands-on fun for the fearless and demonstrations for the appreciator. We hold Hot Night in the City rain or shine.
