The 2015 Millbury Chain of Lights will take place on Sunday, December 6, 2015. The BVAA will have an art show at the Millbury Library as part of this.

Drop-off / hanging will be Friday, December 4th, probably from 4-6pm. The library closes at 6pm.

The library is open briefly on Saturday, December 5th from 9-12. Someone will be on hand to watch the art.

The main event is on Sunday, December 6th from 11am – 4pm. All sorts of locations around Millbury are hosting events and fun. The Asa Waters mansion, right across the street, has non-stop music and festivities.

Pick-up is at 4pm immediately at the end of the show, or contact us to make other arrangements.

There is no fee to enter and no prizes. Submit the artwork you’d like to participate with using our standard online submission form.

BVAA 2016 Calendar Project

Blackstone Valley Art Association 2 Comments

A number of BVAA members have asked about us doing a 2016 calendar of our artwork. The first step is to gather up the artwork! The images should be landscape in orientation. We’ll do it with CafePress. That way it’s print-on-demand so there is no up front fee for the BVAA nor any requirement to order a minimum volume. You can see what their calendars look like here –

You want to aim for a ratio of about 1.28 for width to length but if that’s confusing, don’t worry. Just choose landscape images and if your image is chosen we’ll help with the details.

Post the images you’d like to be considered in this Facebook thread:

https://www.facebook.com/BVArtAssoc/posts/931706133572836

Please have them posted by December 1st.

If we get 12 or more members participating then we’ll aim for each member to be represented, as best we can.

Ask with any questions!
