Arts on the Common is the premier annual cultural event in the town of Wrentham, featuring juried, handcrafted fine arts and crafts, performance art and interactive activities. The event will be held on the historic and picturesque Wrentham common located at the intersection of Routes 140 and 1A.  Arts on the Common is designed to appeal to all ages, featuring art in many creative forms. Music and live entertainment are scheduled throughout the day.

This is an opportunity for artists to showcase their talent among numerous Council-selected artists from the New England area. The registration fee for accepted artists is $75 for a 10’ x 10’ exhibit space. 

Entries may be made in the following categories: Fine Arts (painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, mixed media, etc.); Fine Crafts (wood, metal, jewelry, glass, etc.); and Fiber Arts (weaving, quilt making, embroidery, clothing). Demonstrations of the artist’s process are welcome.

The Wrentham Cultural Council is a local branch of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, responsible for reviewing and awarding grants for cultural programs in the town.
