Our February 16, 2016 monthly meeting will be all about creativity and feedback!

February often gets snowed out so we’re playing it casual this month. Bring along any paintings, sculptures, photos, or other works of art that you’re creating. We’ll offer feedback and suggestions! If you’re a photographer you can bring prints, laptops, cellphones, or whatever else you want. If you bring a USB thumb drive someone will be able to show your images off for you.

We can also work on artist’s statements for anyone who would like feedback on theirs.

Our monthly meetings are held at the Northbridge Senior Center at 20 Highland Street, Whitinsville, MA from 6:30-9pm on the third Tuesday of every month.

We’d love to see you there! Weather permitting, of course.

Invite your family and friends! The 2016 Anything Goes photography show reception is coming up on Friday, January 15th, 2016 from 4-7pm!

This fun photography show is held at the Alterntives Uxbridge location at 1 South Main Street, Uxbridge from 4-7pm. There’ll be refreshments served!

We’ll have photography of all shapes and sizes. Digital photography. Film photography. Plastic camera photography. Cyanotypes. Come learn more about all of the styles of photography and be inspired!

Then mark your calendars for our open-to-the-public session on photography on Tuesday, January 19th. We’ll focus in on abstract and night photography and answer any questions you might have about your camera!

Featured image is by Al Weems, who won second prize in last year’s show. That’s just a taste of what you’ll see this Friday!

We’ll host a hands-on printmaking session this coming Sunday, January 17th, 2016 from 2-4pm. It will either be at the Northbridge senior center or nearby, we’re still working that out. We were inspired by the Alternatives Printmaking opening reception last Friday and are preparing for the upcoming open-call printmaking show at the Attleboro Museum!

For even more inspiration, take a look through all the photos from November 2015’s demo with printmaster Randy LeSage –

Here’s an image that Bob Evans made at that session!

Let us know if you’re interested in joining us, so we can plan for the number of people!

We’ll have Kindle and print copies of the official Gelli book available for reading. Here’s a sample from it – it has great examples and instructions!

It’s the last call for our upcoming Anything Goes photography show! The show is open to all adults of all levels of photography.

We have two halves of this show. One half is open to anything and everything photography related. The other half is focused on film photography – anything from pinhole cameras to Holgas to 35mm to cyanotypes. Enter one or both aspects of the show!

Deadline is Monday, January 11th, 2016 at midnight. Make sure you get your online submissions in by then!

Photo shown is last year’s second prize winner by Al Weems.
