October 17, 2015 will showcase the 2015 Cirque de Noir art event! This is held at the Sprinkler Factory in Worcester, MA. It runs from 7-11pm and dress is all black. It features a number of fun events including a paint-rotation where there are perhaps five artists in front of five easels. They paint for a little while then all slide one easel right. They work on that painting for a little while then all slide right again. It’s lots of fun to see how the paintings evolve!
