About the BVAA

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, workshops, presentations, and other activities favorable to artistic expression, and to the development of friendly exchanges amongst artists and those interested in the arts.

We are warmly inclusive to all abilities, styles, and interests. We accept members from age 16 up.

We meet for hands-on demos and workshops at the Uxbridge Community Gallery, 5 South Main Street, Uxbridge, MA on the third Tuesday of every month. These meetings are usually free, unless a small fee is needed to cover unusual supplies. All monthly meetings start at 6:30 pm unless indicated otherwise. We also hold art shows, field trips, outings, plein air sessions, and other events regularly throughout the year.

Please check our calendar for more information.

Board meeting venues will be announced.
