About BVAA

Purpose

Since its inception in 1957, the Blackstone Valley Art Association has been dedicated to the advancement of the arts and preservation of the finest artistic traditions by means of exhibitions, classes, lectures, and other activities favorable to artistic expression, and to the development of friendly exchanges amongst artists and those interested in the arts.

Funding

The BVAA is an organization which relies on dues, grants and corporate donations in order to cover expenses incurred in holding events and meetings. The number of events we will present depends on our income and budget.

Meetings

We'll be meeting and holding shows at the Gallery at Alternatives in the Whitin Mill in Whitinsville, Mass. until further notice. Board meeting venues will be announced. All meetings start at 7:30 pm unless indicated otherwise. Directions here
Next Member Meeting Monday, May 18th, 7pm

Member Services on the Web

BVAA members are provided with a member bio and flash page containing samples of their work. If you are a new member or would like to upload new art for your gallery, the best thing to do is come to the meetings. We'll be updating the web site in the coming weeks.

This is a free service provided by the association for members only, so take advantage of this opportunity.
