  Milford TV Sep-Oct 2016 – Cities

  6-8pm The Milford TV Station is at 138 South Main Street.

  Every two months we rotate the show at the Milford TV Station. The drop-off for the upcoming September-October 2016 show on the theme of “Cities” is Thursday, August 25th from 6-8pm. We do these on the last Thursday of the month preceding the show.

  This date is also the reception (and take down) for the existing “Summer” show. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend!

  Please bring food or drink to share!

  The Milford TV Station is at 138 South Main Street.

  The Milford people do the labels and hanging for us, so there is no need to use our online submission form to indicate what you’re bringing. Simply be sure to label the back of each piece with its title, your name, and the price.

  This show is for BVAA members only and is free to participate in. Most artists bring in three items but if you have more that’s great! The items can be any size or shape – Milford has a great hanging system which can accommodate pretty much anything.
