Maps and systems are connected by similar shapes and textures; patterned artworks are created through a meditative, repeated process.

Date Change! Milford TV swap on WED!! Nov 2nd!

Due to a out-of-building project by the Milford TV people, they’d like us to come on Wednesday rather than Thursday. So our swap-out-reception at Milford TV for the Small Works show will be this Wednesday, November 2nd from 6-8pm. If you can’t make it Wed just bring things by any time this week during their open hours – you can call ahead to see what those are on a given day. Sorry about the last minute notice and hope to see you there – we have fun conversations!

This craft fair is primarily for the Alternatives employees as a thank-you for all their hard work. it is on Tuesday, December 13th, 2017 from 11-4pm.

The BVAA has a free table there which is intended for small crafts, prints, cards, and similar items.

There is no fee to participate and no commission charged for this.

Alternatives is sponsoring a raffle for their employees as part of their day so it’d be nice if we donated a few items to that raffle as a group.
