The exhibit underscores the vibrancy of the visual arts in MetroWest. Works run the gamut, from traditional approaches on traditional media (oil on canvas, acrylic, watercolor and more), to fabric arts, to multimedia dimensional pieces. Included are landscapes, portraits, florals, graphics and tonal works.
