The Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) is thrilled to announce the twentieth annual Arts in Bloom exhibition. This year’s event will be juried by the renowned Joseph Fontinha. Fontinha will curate the exhibition and select six exceptional works to receive awards, with cash prizes totaling over $1,000 for the winning artists. Additionally, members of the Hopkinton Garden Club will select up to eight pieces of art to create complementary garden displays. These garden pieces will be showcased during a public reception on Friday, May 9th, at 6 PM. Joseph Fontinha, initially trained and educated as an oil painter, has recently expanded his artistic practice to include video, installation, animation, and performance-based work, all deriving from his background in painting. Fontinha holds an MFA in Visual Studies from Lesley University, an MA in Art Education from Boston University, and a BFA in Studio Art from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries. With 23 years of experience as an educator, Fontinha now serves as the Director of Fine and Performing Arts K-12 for the Fall River Public Schools district.
