Public Works Art Center invites the community to take part in the Sixth-Annual SPARK Exhibition.

This exhibition exists to “ignite the spark” of creativity in participants and viewers, and all were welcome to take part. One piece per person, regardless of age or background, was accepted provided it followed criteria. This year’s theme is “Harmony,” and we are thrilled to see the work that comes from this theme.

SPARK is a themed exhibition comprised of three parts: an invitational component in our largest gallery (The West Gallery), an open-to-all community portion in the adjacent gallery (The East Gallery) and a youth section in our downstairs gallery (The South Gallery). While all invitational artists have been selected, the Community and Youth portions were open to all who would like to submit work no matter their age or level of experience. There is no “judging” or “jurying” in a piece for the Spark Community Exhibitions!

This year, the exhibition runs from September 12 – November 15. The reception for this exhibition will be September 13 from 10 am – 1 pm on the day of our annual Block Party. We strongly encourage you to come out to the Block Party to celebrate your work along with all of the other artists and just enjoy the Block Party (which is free for everyone to enjoy!)
