Here are photos from the 2017 edition of the Claflin Hill Holiday Pops art show in Milford! The concert is SOLD OUT and is on Saturday, December 9th. Here’s the full details:
A video too!
This is the two-fold brochure from the Blackstone Valley Art Association 34th Annual Art Festival, held on May 7 to May 21, 1992. It was held at the Bellingham Public Library in Bellingham, Massachusetts.
We had 5 photos in this show, so sometime between 1990 and 1992 we began having photographers in the group. For all I know we had photographers before 1990 and they went away again, but so far every show I’m finding before 1992 was photo-free.
The winners for this show were:
OILS
1st – Afternoon Light, Michael Graves
2nd – Boyhood Memories, Raymond Andreotti
3rd – Fog at Pigeon Cove – Beverly Clark
Hon Mention – Flower Pots – Nancy Nogueira
WATERCOLOR
1st – Boothbay Harbor, Maine – Carole Rafferty
2nd – ?? – Janice M.
3rd – Rainy Day Reds – Joanne Jozefowski
Hon Mention – untitled – Lissa Story
Hon Mention – The Road Home – Susan Whiterell
OTHER (I’m guessing, based on the prize listings)
1st – L’Imprimeuse lithograph – Muriel Locklin
2nd – From Here to Eternity photography – Ann Wiersma
3rd – Wine Country Oak photography – Steven Collins
Hon Mention – Zermatt, Switzerland Monotype and Etching – Muriel Locklin

A blast from the past! Here’s the three-fold program from the Blackstone Valley Art Association’s 21st Annual Spring Show, held April 15th through April 20th, 1979. This was held at the Blackstone-Millville Regional High School in Blackstone, Massachusetts.
Mrs. Marilyn Niteson sang and played piano on Sunday afternoon. The Messengers sang on Friday evening!
There were 166 items of artwork including watercolors, oils, acrylics, pastels, graphic arts, quilts, crochet, vases, and sculptures. Note that there was NO photography at all in 1979 :).
There’s some names in here that we still recognize. Michael Graves, quite famous for his landscapes. Inez Gornall. What other names do you recognize in here? Let us know!
