Fuller Craft Museum will present ‘Brockton Youth Creates 2026’ from July 16 through October 18, 2026, featuring work by more than 30 Brockton High School students. The biennial exhibition is described by the museum as a survey of student creativity across media, with pieces ranging from sculpture to painting and aimed at highlighting the individuality of each young artist.
The exhibition is organized in partnership with the Fine Arts department at Brockton High School. Fuller Craft Museum’s description emphasizes the creative excellence, artistic abilities, and visionary imaginations of the students involved, framing the show as a community project as much as an exhibition of school art. The museum also credits teachers and administrators at Brockton High School for supporting the work.
‘Brockton Youth Creates 2026’ is part of Fuller Craft Museum’s exhibition calendar for summer and early fall 2026. The museum, located at 455 Oak Street in Brockton, Massachusetts, regularly presents contemporary craft and related programming, and its website lists the exhibition as running at the museum itself. The show is one of several current and upcoming offerings announced by the institution in its newsletter and exhibitions pages.
The museum is also using its summer programming to extend visitor hours through ‘Fuller at Five’, a Thursday evening series running in July and August. According to the museum, Fuller Craft Museum remains open until 7:00 PM on those evenings, with special events and activities designed to encourage after-hours visits, including free drop-in craft activities and opening receptions for exhibitions.
For ‘Brockton Youth Creates 2026’, the museum has announced an opening celebration on Thursday, July 16, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. The event is presented as a chance to meet student artists, enjoy light refreshments, and see the exhibition at the start of its run. Registration is available through the museum’s website.
The exhibition’s timing places it alongside other Fuller Craft Museum summer offerings, including ‘Stories on the Planet: Asagi Maeda’, which runs from June 27 to November 8, 2026. That exhibition focuses on the wearable art of Japanese metalsmith Asagi Maeda, while ‘Brockton Youth Creates 2026’ turns to local student work and the creative output of Brockton High School’s Fine Arts program.
In the museum’s own description, the student exhibition is meant to give the community a chance to share in the wonder and talent of young artists and to celebrate creativity found in everyday life. ‘Brockton Youth Creates 2026’ remains on view through October 18, 2026.
