Art Feedback Workshop – Feb 2016
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.

Hands-On Printmaking Session
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 –
