The Blackstone Valley 58th Annual Fall Art Show will be held at the Spaulding R. Aldrich Heritage Gallery in the Alternatives building in Whitinsville, MA. The opening reception is on Friday, November 6th from 4-8pm. All are welcome!

The exhibit runs through December 31st.

The juror for this show will be Charlotte Wharton.

Drop-off date is Friday, October 30 between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM

From the gallery:
 All artwork must be clean and ready to hang with wire hangers. (No saw tooth hangers, please!) Every piece of art must be clearly labeled on the front and back with the following: Artist name, title of work, medium, and price (or NFS, if not for sale). We ask that you please use two labels with the same information, so that the work can be hung and labeled without confusion. The label on the front will be removed for the show, so please use something easily removed.

The Gallery charges a 25% commission on any work sold as a result of the show. This money goes towards the cost of having the show. We pay for advertising in the Quarterly Event calendar to more than 20,000 homes in the Blackstone Valley. We also create and mail a postcard to our ValleyCAST arts and culture list of more than 1,500. We will also use social media to promote the show. The Gallery pays for the food and beverage at the opening (although any food, wine, beer, and or monetary contributions are happily accepted). The work will be hung in the Gallery by Alternatives.

PLEASE NOTE: We will make every effort to hang each piece in its best possible light, but please be aware that it is NOT possible for every piece to be hung front and center.

 

Pick-up dates are Monday & Tuesday, January 4 & 5 between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

Submission details:

Up to 3 pieces for $20. Must be wired, up to 16×20 in size. Use the Online Submission Form. Deadline for submission is 10/26.

Start planning ahead! Anne McNevin has wondrously arranged for a collaboration between the BVAA and the Milford Town Hall Concerts. We are to showcase art at each one! You can see their schedule below. The first show is on November 14th! We’ll put out more details as we get in closer to that date.

Daniels Farm Plein Air Winners

From Carol:
I would like to thank everyone who participated in our first plein-air event. Also a big thanks to all that helped with the weekend’s event. Food for goodies, set up and take down, all takes a lot of work and many hands make the work lighter.  Good news we made enough money to pay all expenses (ALWAYS A TREASURERS CONCERN). I think everyone involved will agree it was a great weekend.

The awards went as follows—
1st place – Bev Tinklenberg
2nd place – Rick Cardoza (previous President of BVAA)
3rd tie between Pam Siderewicz and Carole Plante
honorable mention Janet Iacovelli (first painting ever) and Carol Frieswick.

If anyone has suggestions for the next plein-air event please let me know. We need all the help we can get to make these a success.

Thanks again.

Carol Frieswick
