programme and is a popular biennial art exhibition of contemporary artworks, from local and emerging artists.
In Year 1 (an even year), ARTBOURNE is a multi-artist curated exhibition; in Year 2 (an odd year) ARTBOURNE is an Artist in Residence programme – a month long artist residency.
In 2020, we hosted the ARTBOURNE Sales and Exhibition, from Thursday 15th – Saturday 17th October. We are thrilled that the exhibition, showcasing the recent work of around 30 local and emerging artists, along with our previous artists in residence and Wellesley scholars, was such a success. It also celebrated Wellesley’s unique arts programme and included a curated selection of current students’ art.
