Monson Arts Council Annual Spring Juried Art Show is designed to bring together in our beautiful House of Art and Memorial Hall, the many talented artists in all media.
Our Art Show is designed around four major types of art: painting, photography, multi-dimensional – including sculptural, fabric based, carvings any other work that goes beyond a flat surface – and graphic arts/mixed media – including drawing and printmaking as well as any type of mixed media.
Our outreach is as wide as we can make it. We encourage every artist to take the chance of being in our show. Art is meant to be seen, so be brave, submit your work. We have had newcomers win big prizes, and we have seen notable and critically successful artists be rejected. Art is subjective and personal so come on over!
With generous support from our sponsors, especially Monson Savings Bank which has contributed $4000 toward our prizes for many years, and our media sponsors, we are able to offer one of the best prize packages of any art show in the entire state of Massachusetts and surrounding regions. We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Massachusetts Cultural Council which has supported our show from its earliest years.
Our show is juried and the guidelines are designed to insure a fair, unbiased and uninfluenced process. We don’t permit our Board members or Art Show Committee members to win any cash awards (although they are welcome to enter and admission is also blind, jurors are not permitted to know names of artists they are selecting.) You are invited to read our juror guidelines accessible on this website.
2024 will be our 30h Annual show. It will be our 31st year due to having to cancel our show in 2020 because of Covid.
The Monson Arts Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is “To discover, promote and sustain an appreciation of and an involvement in art and culture in Monson.” It is run by a volunteer Board of Directors who serve three year terms, and who each year elect a slate of officers for the coming year.
