2027 Small Stones Festival of the Arts

Eighth edition of the juried festival run jointly by the Worcester County Camera Club and the Blackstone Valley Art Association, held in a restored barn outside Worcester. Fine art photography is judged as its own category — film, digital, infrared and alternative processes all eligible — with its own jurors and prizes, alongside fine art painting. 144 works are selected for the in-person exhibition and printed in a hardbound catalogue; all entries appear in the online Web Gallery. Work must be hand-delivered, and framed pieces are capped at 26 inches on the longest edge. The art call opens 1 September 2026.
