Family can be by blood, rich with traditions passed down through generations. There are chosen or found families, made up of close, intentional friendships. Common cultures, beliefs, or interests can also make someone feel like family. Though family can bring community and support, it can also be complicated.
Artist members are asked to delve deeply into the theme of family, and respond to one or more artworks on loan from the Fitchburg Art Museum in their own piece.
You can now view the loan on our website. Beginning January 21, you can visit ArtsWorcester to see the loan in-person. See loan and learn more about this call here: https://artsworcester.org/exhibition/kindred-a-members-exhibition-in-collaboration-with-the-fitchburg-art-museum/
The Fitchburg Art Museum’s curatorial staff will select ten works from 'Kindred' by ArtsWorcester artist members to be exhibited at FAM alongside the loaned works after the show. They'll be looking for artworks that embrace the theme, and thoughtfully connect to their loan.
Submitted artworks must correlate in some way to 1-3 artworks from the FAM loan. All media are welcome.
