Impact is the eleventh iteration of the annual collaboration between ArtsWorcester and the Fitchburg Art Museum, featuring ten works from ArtsWorcester artists created in response to pieces from FAM’s permanent collection. This year’s theme explores humanity’s complex and reciprocal relationship with the environment. The natural world has always inspired artists with its equal capacity for beauty and power, creation and destruction, and (perhaps most urgently) change. Amidst our ongoing climate crisis, artists represent nature’s transformation to simultaneously spark dialogue concerning our role in its decay and ponder the ways we work with the earth.

Featured artists from ArtsWorcester include: Colleen Fitzgerald, Amanda Kidd-Kestler, Joseph Landry, Stevie Leigh, Carrie Nixon, Melissa Parent, Anju Pillai, Donalyn Schofield, Luca Webb, and David Wesley White.
