Cotuit Center For The Arts Announces 'Transformation' Winter Art Exhibit

Cotuit Center for the Arts has announced its annual family-friendly Winter Art Exhibit, inviting artists and art enthusiasts to experience the theme of "Transformation" in creative and unexpected ways. The exhibit will open January 11, 2025, with an opening reception from 3 to 5PM, and promises to captivate audiences of all ages with art that explores the concept of change.

This unique exhibit is specially designed with younger audiences in mind, with artwork displayed at a lower height to ensure a child-friendly perspective. The theme, "Transformation," invites broad interpretation, encompassing ideas such as:

• Nature: Seasons shifting, the lifecycle of plants and animals, or environmental change.
• Ideas: Evolution of thought, creativity, or self-expression.
• Architecture: Transformation of spaces, urban renewal, or structural metamorphosis.

Artists are encouraged to submit work that surprises, inspires, and tells a compelling story of change. All 2D and 3D mediums are welcome, and there are no size restrictions.

Submission Details:

Artists may submit up to three works for consideration.

• Submission Date: Monday, January 6, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
• Submission Fee: $10 for Cotuit Center for the Arts members, $15 for non-members.

These one-hour-and-thirty-minute tours include a thematic art project for student groups and opportunities to hear directly from the exhibiting artists about their creative process. Tours are free but must be reserved in advance. For larger groups or special requests, please contact Gallery Associate Jayna Simpson at jayna@cotuitcenterforthearts.org.
