Oh, these glorious bulbous orange gourds, how can we possibly show you how much we adore your seasonal splendor and brilliant shades? Will a whole month dedicated entirely to pumpkin-based art be enough to express our love? We think so.This October, we invite you to join us for “Pumpkins: A Regional Juried Show”, a vibrant celebration of all things pumpkin. Whether you’re captivated by their curves, inspired by their colors, or charmed by their presence in our autumn traditions, this exhibit is your chance to experience pumpkins through the creative lens of regional artists. The show will run through November 2, 2025 with an opening reception on First Friday, October 3, 2025 from 5pm-9pm. It’s the perfect way to welcome fall and immerse yourself in seasonal creativity.
Visitors can expect a wide range of artwork in every imaginable medium; painting, sculpture, fiber, ceramics, photography, and more, all centered around the beloved pumpkin. From playful interpretations to deeply conceptual works, this show explores the pumpkin’s many identities: harvest symbol, Halloween icon, muse, and much more. Artists from across the region have submitted their best gourd-inspired pieces, each one offering a unique and often unexpected perspective on this autumn staple.
Why pumpkins, you ask? Because they are more than just festive décor or the main ingredient in your favorite pie. Pumpkins represent nostalgia, change, tradition, and abundance. Their bold color, varied shapes, and cultural presence make them irresistible subject matter. And let’s face it—nothing says October quite like a gallery filled with creative homages to pumpkins in all their glory.
As a juried exhibition, the work on display has been thoughtfully selected by a panel of judges who evaluated each piece for its originality, quality, and artistic merit. The result is a dynamic and diverse show that truly honors the spirit of the season while showcasing the depth of talent in our region.
In addition to viewing the art, visitors will have the opportunity to purchase pieces and support local artists directly. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of fall to your home or simply want to take home a one-of-a-kind piece of seasonal magic, there will be something for everyone.
So grab your pumpkin spice latte, gather your friends, and head over to experience “Pumpkins: A Regional Juried Show.” One month of pumpkin-themed art might just be the perfect way to say “We love you, pumpkin.”
