Collectors Showcase 2016

The Workhouse Arts Foundation if proud to present its annual Collectors Showcase exhibition and fundraiser, featuring a work of art from each studio and Associate artist at the Workhouse. This year, Sarah Newman, independent curator with past exhibits at the National Gallery of Art and Corcoran Gallery of Art, will select winners. The breath of artwork represents fiber, photography, painting, pastels, ceramics, glass, mixed media and more – one artwork from each of the 90 plus artists at the Workhouse. Each artwork will be available to take home to guest to the annual Workhouse Collectors Showcase event, when guest are selected at random to pick artwork. All funds go towards art, education and history at the Workhouse.
