'Paint the Town' is always at home
No one's saying Worcester will ever be the new Rockport, but it's not altogether so rare anymore to see an artist standing outside at his or her easel capturing a brouhaha from the city's post-industrial landscape. Their subjects aren't always the superb parks, historic Salisbury-area mansions or impressive public buildings. Factories once teeming and now idle call to them, as do unexpected terrace views such as Highland Street at rush hour or stretches of Chandler Lane still awaiting renewal.Work on display in “Brush the Town,” a new show at the Prints and the Potter Gallery, embraces the amiable as well as the gritty aspects of Worcester through the eyes of 13 artists. An slot reception will be Nov. 4.
