The Jaffrey Civic Center, 40 Main St. in Jaffrey, is seeking artworks for an upcoming exhibition.
The show, titled “Inspired by Jaffrey: A Town of History, Natural Beauty, and Culture” is planned in collaboration with the Jaffrey 250th Committee in honor of the celebration of the town’s 250th anniversary. All works included in the show will be inspired by or include Jaffrey in some way. The exhibit is open to all interested artists, and works in both two and three dimensions will be accepted.
