2027 Small Stones Festival of the Arts

The 2027 Small Stones Festival of the Arts is the eighth edition of a juried festival jointly organized by the Worcester County Camera Club and the Blackstone Valley Art Association. The festival takes place in a restored barn outside Worcester (Brigham Hill Community Barn, 37 Wheeler Rd., North Grafton, MA) and showcases fine‑art painting and fine‑art photography. All photographic processes – film, digital, infrared and alternative – are eligible. A panel of independent jurors selects 144 works for an in‑person exhibition that runs from January 30 to February 8, 2027, and the selected pieces are printed in a hard‑bound catalogue and featured in an online Web Gallery. Submissions must be hand‑delivered; framed works may not exceed 26 inches on the longest edge. The call opened on September 1, 2026 and remains open until October 1, 2026. An entry fee of $10 is required. No travel or housing support is offered. The festival provides exhibition space, catalogue publication, and online gallery exposure.
