Call for Art
Call for Art
The HCA hosts a variety of juried shows at HCA every year, including Heart, Courage and Sweat, A Show for Young Artists Inspired by the Boston Marathon, Spring Ahead: Arts in Bloom, Fresh Perspectives: HCA Students and Teachers, and The Big Tent, our Members Show.
Exhibit Opportunities
At HCA, there are several opportunities for artists to show work: Fresh Perspectives (open to all HCA students); The Big Tent (open to all members), and juried shows, such as Spring Ahead: Arts in Bloom (open to adult artists).
For artists looking for more options, Artscope and Art New England magazines regularly list Calls for Art. Also check out The Art List, a great listing of additional opportunities.
Juried Exhibits
Juried exhibits are curated by guest jurors who select pieces from submissions received during our open Calls for Art. Recent jurors have included Mim Brooks Fawcett, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Attleboro Museum, Katherine French (Director Emerita of Danforth Art, now Gallery Director of Catamount Arts), Jane Young (Chase Young Gallery, Boston), Arthur Dion (Gallery NAGA, Boston), Zola Solamente (Arden Gallery, Boston), and Photographer Chehalis Hegner.
