Spring beauty is coming at the Milford TV Station!
Every two months we rotate the art show at the Milford TV Station. We arrange our drop-offs on the last Thursday of the month preceding the show. The drop-off for the upcoming March-April 2020 show on the theme of “Spring Joy” is Thursday, February 27th, 2020 from 6-8pm.
This date is also the take-down for the existing “Winter Magic” show. If you’re not able to make it for this pickup date, please wait until after the reception to stop by and retrieve your art. That way the show is up for its full publicized period.
Drop-Off (and previous show pick-up) Thursday, February 27, 2020 6-8pm The public is warmly welcome and encouraged to attend the drop-off, to chat with the artists. Many artists hang out to chat during this period. Artists – please bring food or drink to share!
Public Reception Thursday, March 26th, 2020 6-8pm Milford TV will supply the food and wine for this one. Family, friends, and artists are all welcome! BVAA artists should feel free to bring along bin art, notecards, business cards, and other similar items as they meet-and-greet our visitors.
Show Details for the Artists The Milford TV Station employees create the labels and perform the hanging for us. There is no need to use the BVAA online submission form to indicate what you’re bringing. Simply be sure to label the back of each piece with its title, your name, contact info, and the price. This show is for BVAA members only and is free to participate in.
The Milford TV station does not take any commission on sales. Neither does the BVAA. This is an ideal sales venue, and we do see sales regularly at this venue.
Most artists bring in three to four items but if you have more which match the current theme that’s great! The items can be any size or shape – Milford has a great hanging system which can accommodate pretty much anything.

If you’re interested in painting, drawing, and illustrating, we have the perfect Saturday lined up! It’ll be a great time with laughter, conversation, creativity, and the space to stretch out!
We’ll do hands-on help with Instagram for anyone who brings in a smart phone or tablet!
Open Paint 10am-3pm For the entire day, it’s an open paint! All are welcome, including the public, family, and friends! It’s free! We have watercolors and acrylics on hand, or bring your own if you wish.
If the weather is nice out, visitors can also embark on an Uxbridge sketch walk. We have the maps all ready.
When: Saturday, July 13, 2019 10am – 3pm
Where: BVAA Open Sky Uxbridge Community Art Gallery 5 South Main Street Uxbridge, MA 01569
Our Saturdays at the gallery include an open paint session where all styles of art are warmly welcome. Whether you’re 12 or 102, whether you’re a new beginner or a seasoned artist, we would love to have you. It’s completely free to participate in the open paint. You can bring your own paints or we’ll have watercolors and brushes to share.
There is a TON of free parking immediately next to this building. It is fully and easily handicapped accessible.
Feel free to show up for some or all of the day to paint. Some come for just the morning, some for the afternoon, and some for the entire time. There are several options on the same block to grab lunch if you’d like. We also bring in a pizza and those who want slices chip in a few dollars.
Our Saturday events are free, casual, relaxed, and fun! All levels are welcome.
Ask with any questions – we’d love to have you join us!
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 Open Sky Community Services. Open Sky uses this space for client activities during weekdays. They allow the BVAA use of the space – and its gallery walls – on evenings and weekends.
2019 marks the Blackstone Valley Art Association’s third annual Sunflower show, held at the Booklovers’ Gourmet in Webster in August! This beautiful show features delightful sunflowers from an assortment of our BVAA members.
Because the Booklovers’ Gourmet has limited space, for 20-25 art items, we do a pre-selection process. We ask each member who is interested to send us a JPG of their sunflower to info@bvaa.org. If we don’t get enough sunflowers by the deadline (in this case Mon July 22nd 2019 at midnight) we then ask people for more. If we get enough sunflowers, we’re set. If we get too many sunflowers – a problem we haven’t had in the past – we put it to a vote on Facebook.
Here are the entries we have received so far for the 2019 Sunflower Show. We will be updating this page as we approach the deadline. Contact Lisa (using that same info@bvaa.org) with any questions!
