Artists on Fire is an annual exhibition curated by Juniper Rag featuring some of the highest level emerging artists and established artist in the New England area, held at the Krikorian Gallery at Worcester Center for Crafts.

NEW this year — 2 openings: July 10 & 18!

This year we have an ARTIST RECEPTION opening, that is planned for a less hectic evening, where you can peruse the gallery, have a sip of wine and meet the artists. Plenty of parking and a more intimate evening…then—-a second event with thousands of people, food trucks and demonstrations—Hot Night in the City, the hottest night of the year attracting festival lovers from all over New England. Artists are encouraged to attend both to meet and greet guests.

Artwork for this exhibition are not themed and each grouping of work represents the artis as a whole or their experimental work, giving them an opportunity to work outside the confines of their “expected” processes. With accessible prices under $500, we will offer original art for new collectors and sweet opportunities to collect work from highly sought after artists who are seasoned pros.
