Tower Hill Winter Reimagined

Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

Gorgeous lights and colors bring Tower Hill to a wintry wonderland. We’re going on a field trip this Thursday, December 3rd. The plan is to meet in the lobby at 5:30pm and then begin exploring. We’ll re-meet at Twigs (the cafe) at 7:30pm for warm-up and social.

Thank you to Dennis for suggesting this fun idea! He recommends a tripod and spare battery. He also suggests that bringing exact change, for those paying cash, is a help to the Tower Hill folks.

We’ll play with a variety of night photography ideas!

I’ve checked with my library and it doesn’t seem that passes are accepted for this event. Prices are:

Members: Free
Adults: $15
Seniors (65 and over): $10
Youth 6-18: $5
Children 5 and under: Free

OK there isn’t really a Fabric Garden event :). However, this coming Free Friday has created two options!

Carol’s interested in stopping by the American Textile History Museum in Lowell. You can learn about that here –

Lisa is interested in walking around the Garden in the Woods in Framingham. That can be read about here –

Both are wholly FREE on Friday.

If you’d like to meet up at either location please let us know!
