SLIDESHOW: State House Hosting Exhibit of Fountain Street Artists

Thursday night, Sen. Karen Spilka will host a wine & cheese reception for MetroWest artists, whose work is the first to be featured in the Massachusetts State House.

A new collection of artwork curated by Framingham’s Fountain Street Studios is displayed in the Senate Lobby of the State House now through the end of July.

The exhibit is the first in a series of rotating art displays from senate districts across the Commonwealth.

“I am proud to showcase the talent of MetroWest artists in the State House,” said Sen. Spilka.

“The MetroWest creative economy is thriving, and these artists are terrific ambassadors for our arts and culture scene. We’re kicking off the Senate’s new art series with a beautiful collection of local artwork, for the enjoyment of people from across the Commonwealth,” said the state senator who represents Framingham.

“On behalf of Fountain Street Studios, we thank Senator Spilka, her wonderful staff and of course the outstanding team at the Massachusetts State House for welcoming our art exhibition at the Senate Lobby. We hope the general public enjoys our exhibition which offers a wide variety and sampling of recent works by Fountain Street Studios fine artists,” said Jorie Anderson, fine artist and Board Member of Fountain Street Studios.

The exhibit includes more than 20 pieces created by a group of accomplished Fountain Street Studios artists. The featured artwork reflects a variety of mediums and styles, including oil, acrylic, photography and mixed media.

The Fountain Street exhibit will be featured in the Massachusetts State House through July 31.

Fountain Street Studios, representing more than 60 individual and unique artists and artisans is located in the historic Bancroft Building at 59 Fountain Street in Framingham.
