Central Massachusetts Artist Initiative

The Central Massachusetts Artist Initiative (CMAI) expands the Worcester Art Museum’s ongoing commitment to the vibrant art community throughout the region. Launched in December 2017, CMAI showcases the extraordinary and multi-faceted talents of artists who live or work in the greater Worcester region with a solo installation in the Sidney and Rosalie Rose Gallery. Each year two artists, invited by one of the Museum’s curators, will display a small grouping of works alongside significant contemporary artists, including Willie Cole, Doris Salcedo and Alice Neel.


The Central Massachusetts Artist Initiative is supported by the WAM Exhibition Fund.
