Every two months we rotate the show at the Milford TV Station. The drop-off for the upcoming July-August 2017 show on the theme of “Dog Days of Summer” is Thursday, July 6th from 6-8pm. We do these on the last Thursday of the month preceding the show.

** NOTE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AT THE STATION – WE ARE A WEEK POSTPONED **

This date is also the reception (and take down) for the existing “Floral” 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.

The Milford people do the labels and hanging for us, so there is no need to use our online submission form to indicate what you’re bringing. Simply be sure to label the back of each piece with its title, your name, and the price. Milford does not take any commission on sales.

This show is for BVAA members only and is free to participate in. Most artists bring in three items but if you have more that’s great! The items can be any size or shape – Milford has a great hanging system which can accommodate pretty much anything.

Come on out! Invite family and friends! The Spring Show reception for the BVAA Spring Show is on Sunday, June 11th from 1pm to 3:30pm. All are welcome!

This is located at the:

Blackstone Valley Visitor Center Gallery
175 Main Street
Pawtucket, RI

Al Weems is here to get you on your way.

Al is a talented, award-winning professional photographer with countless credits to his name. We’ll be doing an outing at Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, Massachusetts. That way, rain or shine, we’ll have a wealth of things to take photos of.

The session is free for all BVAA members. Any non-BVAA member who wishes to join us would pay a $5 instructor fee in addition to the entry to Tower Hill.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!! We are still determining the date and the time of day time of day we’ll meet up. Regular hours are 10am to 5pm. The Twigs Cafe is open from 11am to 3pm.
