April 15 - June 3, 2012. Fitchburg Art Museum's Wrapped in Pride: Ghanaian Kente and African American Identity. The brightly colored, geometrically patterned cloth called kente, made by the Asante peoples of Ghana and the Ewe peoples of Ghana and Togo, is the best known of all African textiles. In African American communities across the United States, kente is much more than mere cloth: it is a symbol of African pride and a powerful cultural icon. www.fitchburgartmuseum.org/exhibitions.php

June 3-August 14. Fruitland Museum's Natural Encounters: On and off the trails at Fruitlands and Walden, a series of photo collages by Amy Ragus, many of which highlight unique perspectives of the Fruitlands landscape.

June 14 through September 1. Museum of Russian Icon's Palekh Icons: The Enchantment of Russian Painting. Since the 17th century, Palekh, a small town in Russia, was renowned as the focus of Russian Orthodox iconography. Tsars favored Palekh icons because of the preservation of “old Russian” style characterized by fine, miniature painting of architectural backdrops and landscapes, high quality workmanship and the heightened detail executed with narrative motifs.

June 27—September 5. Fitchburg Art Museum's 77th Regional Exhibition of Art and Craft. www.fitchburgartmuseum.org/Upcoming-Exhibitions.php
August 19-October 28. Fruitland Museum's Visceral Murmurs. Works by Scott Erb, Brian Burris, Cynthia Woehrle. Seeded by the philosophy and history of the Fruitlands Museum and its grounds we, independently of each other, arrived at explorations of night as the theme of our exhibition. Night offers many qualities of light and atmosphere that shift with the seasons and weather upon the land. It is this ground where the seed of our exhibition has taken root; the quality of light in darkness... illumination, its connection to the earth, and exploring this connection in ways that transcend traditional representation. This exhibition represents our individual metaphors for elemental beauty which all can be found here at the Fruitlands Museum. www.fruitlands.org/threeworcesterartists
October 18-November 4. Rollstone Studios' juried art exhibition: Celebrating Cats. Submissions are due Friday or Saturday October 12 or 13 between 11 am and 4 pm. Exhibit runs October 18 through November 4. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit the Pat Brody Cat Shelter. rollstoneartists.com/events
