Come join us at the Triad Bridge in Millville, Massachusetts on Thursday, October 16th 2025 from 10am to noon! RAIN OR SHINE! All are welcome as we set up on site and paint a painting of the Millville triad bridge area! You can take photos, sketch, watercolor paint, draw, or whatever you’d like. You could watch talented artist Laura Cenedella as she paints plein air on site, showcasing the beauty of this location.
There is a large free parking lot at the corner of Central Street and Hope Street, Millville to get started. You can bring your own cameras, sketchbooks, and painting supplies if you wish. For those who don’t have supplies, we’ll have loaner sketching supplies, painting supplies, and cameras on hand for those who want to participate hands on.
You’re also welcome to simply pop in and watch for a while!
This event is fully open to ALL people of all levels, ages, and abilities. We encourage community members to stop in and learn more about creating art!
Our featured artist is the talented Laura Cenedella:

Here’s some information about the Millville rail trail, which is how you get to this site – the Triad Bridge is item #3 –
If you specifically would like to try your hand at painting on location – known as plein air – here’s a workshop Dianne Panarelli Miller did for us in April, giving ideas how to prepare for plein air painting. Take a look!
Here’s a written list of items to bring with you when you do your own plein air painting. Note that at the this Millville event we’ll have supplies on hand for this community event, if you’d like to borrow ours to give this a try. So you don’t need to bring supplies to Millville. Still, if you’d like to build up your own travel bag of items, this page will get you started.
You can celebrate this location in photography, in sketches, in watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels – whatever appeals to you.
Ask with any questions!
This event is supported by a grant from the Millville Cultural Council, which is part of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
