It’s a Zoo In Here transforms the Harold Stevens Gallery into a joyful, high-spirited menagerie. This lively invitational exhibition brings together 30 artists at all stages of their careers, working across a wide range of mediums and filling the gallery with animals that are playful and powerful, tender, wild, real and imagined.
Through painting, photography, sculpture, video, and mixed media, the exhibition celebrates the enduring and ever-evolving relationship between humans and animals.
The exhibition invites audiences of all ages to experience art that delights, surprises, and reconnects us with the animal world in fresh and meaningful ways.
In the spirit of that connection, the gallery is partnering with the Worcester Animal Rescue League and will collect cash and pet food donations at the Opening Reception and both ZOO Open Houses.
Admission is free and open to the public.
