The Four By Four raises funds for the Brush Gallery's UMass Lowell Art Scholarship. This scholarship is granted to a deserving University of Massachusetts student majoring in the visual arts. This event also partially funds art education for challenged adults through our Special Perspectives program.
The Requirements: We ask visual artists to create one 4 inch by 4 inch work of art. The Brush Art Gallery provides one 4" x 4" blank, stretched canvas. Artists create whatever they wish with whatever media and materials they like.
You must REGISTER ONLINE to receive/create a canvas.
