Rumford, RI, December 31, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Having your work recognized by your peers is a welcome juncture in many an artist’s exhibiting career, and the juried show provides one avenue for artists to receive such accolades. Being given an award at one of the largest and well-respected exhibiting venues in your region makes it that much sweeter for Rhode Island artist Alexander Morris. His work Voyage No. 1 is currently on display for the Members’ Exhibition at Attleboro Arts Museum. This year’s Members’ Exhibition was juried by Jennifer Jean Okumura, who juried 391 works to award prizes to 25 recipients. The museum remarked that this year’s exhibit is a "strong showing of creativity during extraordinary times."

The Members’ Exhibition is an annual opportunity for members of Attleboro Arts Museum to exhibit original artwork at its space, which is one of the largest exhibiting venues between Boston and Providence.
