2017 Alternatives Whitinsville Palette Contest
The 2017 Alternatives Whitinsville Palette Contest is here! It’s the 5th Annual Palette Contest. Here’s how this works.
You go to the Alternatives Whitinsville location during their normal working hours and buy the palette for $15. That is your entry fee. You can then decorate that palette in ANY way you wish. You can paint it. Cyanotype it. Cut it into pieces and reassemble them. Burn images into it. Build on top of it. The winners then get cash prizes and world-wide acclaim!
You can pick up your palette any time before February 24, 2017. The palette needs to be dropped off by March 2, 2017.
The show runs from March 10 through April 28, 2017. The opening reception is Friday, March 10th from 4:30 – 7:30pm.
There are cash prizes in three age categories:
18 and up: $300, $200, $100
12-17: $100, $75, $50
6-11: $75, $50, $25
Full official contest details:
Here are just a few images from the previous years, to inspire you.
This show is not run by the BVAA, but lots of BVAA members enter every year. It’s great fun! And it’s for a great cause.

January 2017 Monthly Meeting – Papermaking with Joe Ray
Our January 2017 meeting is moving from its usual date and time! For January we will be having our monthly meeting on SUNDAY January 22nd from 1:30 to 4pm. This will be a hands-on demonstration of papermaking, hosted by artist Joe Ray.
It’s hands on so please wear clothing that can get messy :). If you have a tarp for a table that would be helpful, too!
You can bring along your own items to include in the paper if you wish. Typical items are flower petals, pine needles, and the like.
As always, our monthly meeting will be held at the:
Northbridge Senior Center
20 Highland Street
Whitinsville, MA 01590
Our monthly meetings are open to the public and are supported in part by grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Here is Joe’s website to learn more about him:

Here are a few samples of what handmade paper with inclusions looks like, to get some ideas!
