The Twenty-Second Annual College Show is a juried exhibition open to all undergraduate college students studying at any Massachusetts college or university, in any major. Bring us your favorite piece from your art class or your personal artistic practice, or show off your latest experiment. You do not need to be an art student or in an art class to submit.
The College Show has no theme. The deadline to submit online is December 17 at midnight. Notifications will be made by January 9, 2026.
Cash prizes will be awarded and announced at the opening reception. This year’s juror is Andrea Olmstead, Assistant Professor of art in ceramics, sculpture, and drawing at Fitchburg State University.
Submission is free to students of our institutional partners: Anna Maria College, Assumption University, Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Quinsigamond Community College, and Worcester State University. There is a nonrefundable $5 submission fee per submission for students of any other college or university in Massachusetts.
This is a juried exhibition, meaning that the juror will consider all eligible submissions and select certain artworks to be shown at ArtsWorcester. All media are welcome, including but not limited to fine craft, painting, photography, sculpture, digital, and video.
