Our February 16, 2016 monthly meeting will be all about creativity and feedback!

February often gets snowed out so we’re playing it casual this month. Bring along any paintings, sculptures, photos, or other works of art that you’re creating. We’ll offer feedback and suggestions! If you’re a photographer you can bring prints, laptops, cellphones, or whatever else you want. If you bring a USB thumb drive someone will be able to show your images off for you.

We can also work on artist’s statements for anyone who would like feedback on theirs.

Our monthly meetings are held at the Northbridge Senior Center at 20 Highland Street, Whitinsville, MA from 6:30-9pm on the third Tuesday of every month.

We’d love to see you there! Weather permitting, of course.

Invite your family and friends! The 2016 Anything Goes photography show reception is coming up on Friday, January 15th, 2016 from 4-7pm!

This fun photography show is held at the Alterntives Uxbridge location at 1 South Main Street, Uxbridge from 4-7pm. There’ll be refreshments served!

We’ll have photography of all shapes and sizes. Digital photography. Film photography. Plastic camera photography. Cyanotypes. Come learn more about all of the styles of photography and be inspired!

Then mark your calendars for our open-to-the-public session on photography on Tuesday, January 19th. We’ll focus in on abstract and night photography and answer any questions you might have about your camera!
