SUMMARY:Open Call for Peaceful Futures Exhibit - Send us Your Artwork

In the spirit of envisioning and creating a safe\, healthy future\, both organizations invite you to share your visual interpretation of the question\, “What does peace look like in your community?” \nThe Center is very pleased to offer this opportunity in collaboration with the Worcester Art Museum where Peaceful Futures will exhibit.  The art show opens December 10 and closes February 20th\, 2026 with a reception on February 7th\, 2-4 p.m. All works for the exhibit must be submitted to the Worcester Art Museum no later than December 6. Open to artists of all ages. Show us what your vision of peace looks like. Details in link provided below. \nLEARN MORE & SUBMIT YOUR ART \n(Above: The Peaceable Kingdom by Edward Hicks\, 1934.65)
