Black and White Show at Milford TV Station

Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

Every two months we rotate the show at the Milford TV Station. The drop-off for the upcoming January-February 2016 show on the theme of “Black and White” is Thursday, January 7th from 6-8pm. Note that this is a week later than usual. Usually we do it on the last Thursday of the month, but we are moving it forward a week in this case to avoid New Year’s Eve.

This date is also the reception (and take down) for the existing “Small Works” show. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend!

Please bring food or drink to share!

The Milford TV Station is at 138 South Main Street.
