COVID-19 ALERT
Due to the current health situation with the COVID-19 / Coronavirus in Massachusetts, we will *** NOT *** be holding our open paint at the Uxbridge Gallery on Saturday, March 14th, 2020.
The gallery space will be open so that those artists who need to pick up photo-show artworks can stop in to retrieve them.
Contact info@bvaa.org with any questions or to coordinate with Lisa about when you will stop by.
Be Healthy!
Our gallery and events are supported by the local cultural councils, Open Sky, and ValleyCAST.
Open Critique Session
Since February can sometimes be snowed out, we use this month for a session which is casual. We all bring in our latest works or images and then offer each other suggestions and advice. You can bring the works in in person or bring JPG images on a thumb drive for us to view on a laptop. You can bring in paintings, drawings, or sculptures. Whatever you wish! It’ll be fun, relaxed, and conversational.
Our February 2020 monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 18th from 6:30-9pm.
Location:
BVAA Open Sky Uxbridge Community Gallery
5 South Main Street
Uxbridge, MA 01569
This meeting and workshop is free and open to the public. No experience is necessary. The fun of our workshops is that we all try new things we’ve never done before.
Our meetings cover BVAA organization business from 6:30-7:00pm and then go into the workshop part of the evening. Feel free to come for whichever half interests you the most. In general, our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month unless otherwise announced.
All are welcome – this workshop is open to members and non-members. Feel free to bring along a friend! We’d love to see you there to try some new things and explore your creativity!
Ask with any questions!
This Uxbridge gallery is supported in part by BVAA member dues, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and by ValleyCAST. The space use is kindly donated to us by ValleyCast, the community outreach department of Open Sky Community Services. Open Sky uses this space for special-needs client activities during daytime weekdays. They allow the BVAA use of the space – and its gallery walls – on evenings and weekends. We actively support their inclusive mission. All are welcome to all of our events and activities!
The Choco l’Art fun BVAA art show is now live at the Whitinsville Library! This is a PEOPLE’S CHOICE award – please stop by and vote! Your vote determines the winner! Share the news with family and friends!
