Call for art
Artists of all ages are invited to share their creative voices in a celebration of diversity, democracy, and the American spirit. Through art, we can evoke emotion, spark imagination, and inspire meaningful connection across communities.
Contest entry is free. Deadline for submissions for the juried exhibition and contest is April 10. At a time when our country feels deeply divided, this contest aims to highlight our shared values, encourage civic engagement, and create opportunities for thoughtful and productive dialogue. Selected works will be featured in exhibitions that showcase and support local artists.
Please spread the word:
• Print and share the poster
• Forward this information to makers—especially young and aspiring artists
• Visit FCULittle.org for full contest details

This contest is proudly co-sponsored by community organizations including: the Reclaiming our Democracy group of First Church Unitarian in Littleton, Mass.; the League of Women Voters of Westford; the Littleton and Westford cultural councils and the Community Gallery of the Fitchburg Art Museum.

3 free mixed-media art workshops at the Lunenburg Public Library in March led by artist Bridie Wolejko of Leominster. All materials are included. Registration is required and workshops are limited to 10 participants each. I hope you will consider signing up or sharing with those who may be interested.

There is no limit to the number of workshops you sign up for, please see registration links with more information below.

As part of this workshop series, I'll be curating an exhibit to be held at the library in April of artworks made in the workshops so this could also be an opportunity to have your art displayed in a public group art show!

This is all made possible through the Lunenburg Cultural Council and the Lunenburg Public Library 👏👏👏👏
