About What's Going On
An Online Exhibit starting July 22, 2020.
The Theme
The pandemic, its impact on our lives, its ongoing social consequences.
The killing of George Floyd, the upsurge of consciousness of racism, the demands for change now at last.
Our conflicted politics, our damaged economy, our disrupted employment. Our private lives, our public lives.
Grave dangers and signs of hope.

About the HCA:
Serving individuals of all ages, cultures, and artistic abilities across the MetroWest region, the HCA develops artistic skills, offers outstanding artistic performances and exhibitions, and enables visitors to experience art in all forms. Under one roof, we celebrate art through classes and events in visual art, theater, music, dance, ceramics, writing, and film.
In 2015 we opened our expanded art center, with a new exhibition space, a 200-seat performance space, and newly renovated classrooms. The Delbridge Family Performance Space and the Lotvin Family Gallery annually present dozens of productions and exhibitions by students and adults, amateurs and professionals. Created in 2011, HCA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community arts center, fosters and celebrates the creative spirit in everyone.
