"No Theme - No Limits" Open Juried Show

After the great success of the last Open Juried Show entitled "Symbiotic Relationships" earlier this year, the Artists' Group is proud to present a new show featuring works by a multitude of local artists. The theme of the show is "No Theme - No Limits", leaving free reign to artists' imagination. This is an opportunity for artists to be inspired by a subject matter of their choice. Come and see what has been created!

Call for Artists!

The Sprinkler Factory Artist Group is calling all artists to submit works for a show and exhibit this coming December.

The Artists' Group of the Sprinkler Factory will present our second open juried show in celebration of the 2010 winter holiday season. Artists in the Worcester area and beyond are invited to submit up to three original works of art created within the past two years. The exhibition will be held in the Sprinkler Factory Gallery, a large, well-lit space that retains the industrial charm of its manufacturing roots. Jurying will be done by members of the Artists' Group.

The Sprinkler Factory is an emerging artists' colony in the heart of Worcester. It houses a diverse group of accomplished painters, printmakers, potters, glass artists, jewelers, fiber artists, and artists in other media.

Theme:
For this exhibition there is no theme – no limits on artists' creativity. We are seeking outstanding and impressive visual works of all kinds.
