Here’s the first version of our upcoming calendar for the September 2016 through August 2017 season. Our Blackstone Valley Art Association calendar year runs in a “school year” cycle from September through the following August.

This is quite preliminary – let us know your thoughts on what else you’d like to see us do during the year!

Once again the Blackstone Valley Art Association will be pairing up with Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra to provide artistic beauty to go with each show! These art shows are “pop-up” shows in the sense that we hang the works the day before, the art is seen during the one-night orchestra concert, and then we take the art down the next day. The art show is free to participate in, is not judged, and we have seen sales at these events. It’s a great way to get your art seen by an art-appreciating audience.

Here are the show dates for the 2015-2016 season, along with the musical themes. Art brought to the shows do not need to match the theme, but we do find that patrons appreciate it when there’s a beautiful piece of art that goes with the music!

More details about each show will be added as we get closer.
