The 21st Annual College Show

The annual ArtsWorcester College Show recognizes the next generation of regional artists. This competitive exhibition draws on the strengths of student artists in Worcester and beyond. This year's College Show is juried by Deborah Santoro, Gallery Director of the University Gallery at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Cash prizes will be awarded and announced at the opening reception.

The College Show has no theme. 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.

Students may submit a maximum of three pieces for consideration, and must complete a separate submission form for each piece. When submitting more than one piece, please return to the original link to make additional submissions.

Submission is free to students of our institutional partners: Anna Maria College, Assumption University, Clark University, College of the Holy Website, 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.

Studying abroad in Spring 2025, but still want to submit? Make a plan for a friend to hold on to your submissions while you’re away. If your artwork is chosen, they can drop it off at the gallery for you.
