Arts in Bloom Exhibit at Hopkinton Center for the Arts

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) announces its 2015 Arts in Bloom exhibit will run May 8–June 5. This juried exhibition will showcase prize-winning artwork, complemented by one-of-a-kind floral arrangements provided by the Hopkinton Garden Club. Artist, teacher, poet, and author John Murray is the juror for this exhibit. Six cash prizes will be announced at a public reception on May 8, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. The HCA gallery is located at 98 Hayden Rowe St. and hours are weekdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on this event, please visit www.hopartscenter.org/exhibits or call (508) 435-9222.

Artists interested in entering their work into this juried cash-prize show may drop-off up to three pieces, plus a $30 fee and registration form to the HCA gallery on April 24 and 25. The form and more information can be found at www.hopartscenter.org/call-for-art.

John Murray is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and his block prints and mixed media paintings have been exhibited across the U.S. and Europe. His prints approach the intimacy of portraiture, grabbing a glimpse into the world of his subject matter, while his paintings, a frenzy of color and energy, appear to be a harmony of subtle simplicity.

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts cultivates an inclusive and vibrant community committed to the exploration and enjoyment of the visual and performing arts throughout Hopkinton and the MetroWest region.
