Flash Art | Through November 16

Just like a flash sale, our Flash Art exhibition and benefit is on for only a short time!

Nearly 100 artists have donated 100 pieces of art (ceramics, oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, drawings, prints, artists’ books, photographs, fiber pieces, and collages) and one can be yours for only $100. Flash Art is a great way to begin or add to a collection of original artwork or find a holiday gift!

Each ticket purchaser will be given a preference sheet to rank their top 20 favorite pieces of art. At the end of the exhibition, a drawing will match each participant to the Flash Art piece that they will ultimately take home. All proceeds will benefit future exhibitions at Mosesian Arts and educational programs like art classes and Watertown Children's Theatre.

The Flash Art Exhibition will be open to the public through Wednesday, November 16. Works in the exhibition are also viewable on the MCA website. Questions may be directed to Director of Development Jeannette Belcher-Schepis at [email protected]
