The Regional Exhibition of Art & Craft is one of the longest-running juried exhibitions in New England, and we are excited to continue the tradition in 2022! This annual exhibition at the Fitchburg Art Museum strives to spotlight and celebrate the artists and crafters of our region by providing a museum environment for their artwork and connecting them with fellow artists, patrons, and enthusiasts. The 86th Regional Exhibition is a testament to the vitality and importance of our immediate artist community. This year’s show includes 79 artists from 44 towns. The First Prize winner of the 86th Regional Exhibition will receive a solo exhibition in the summer of 2023, alongside the 87th Regional Exhibition.
