BVAA Show of Hands Reception – Friday August 11th, 4-7PM

It’s summer, and that means it’s time for the Blackstone Valley Art Association “Show of Hands” open art show! This show is a counterpoint to our January photography show. While the January show is all about photography – both digital and film – this show here is all about the other arts. Oil painting, Acrylic painting. Watercolors. Pastels. Charcoal. Sculpture. Pottery. Fabric. Art Quilts. If an artist used their hands to make it, it was fair game for this show!

The show is held at the:
Alternatives’ Community Gallery
5 South Main Street
Uxbridge, MA.

Opening Reception:
Friday, August 11th, 2017
4-7pm
food and drink provided
all are welcome!

The show runs through September 29th, 2017.

Come on out to celebrate the show!

It looks like we have the perfect number of entries for the walls. That means each person gets to put theirs live :). If you haven’t submitted your title, medium, and price yet via the submission form, please send that in now for your piece of art. That way we know what to put on the labels.

Thank you to everyone who is participating!
