We all had great fun last night at our first meeting of the season, learning Origami from Lisa and paint mixing from Bev!

Congratulations to all the winners in the 2015 Hopedale Day in the Park competition! BVAA members claimed a number of the ribbons. We also gained a few new members and sold art from our booth! All in all, a delightful day.

Photos galore!

It’s a gorgeous sunny day for Hopedale’s Day in the Park Today Sat 9/12 from 10-4! Come out & stop by the BVAA booth!

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

Full Details and Application Form

A reminder of our Milford TV 2015-2016 schedule. Each show runs for two months and has a theme. These shows are free to participate in – bring as many works as you want, in whatever sizes you want. They’ll find a way to get them to fit :).

Sep-Oct – Blackstone Valley
Nov-Dec – Small Gifts for Gift Giving
Jan-Feb – Black and White
Mar-Apr – Green
May-Jun – Florals
Jul-Aug – Summer

The reception / drop-off is always the last Thursday of the month before the show begins. So August 27th is the drop-off for the Sep-Oct Blackstone Valley show as well as the reception for the just-about-to-end Water/Fairs/AmusementParks show. Artists then take their works home with them at the end of the reception. We all bring food & wine to share and guests are warmly welcome!

If you can’t make it on that last Thursday, just give the Milford TV Station a call. They’re open a wide range of hours on most days. Let them know when you’d like to come in and they’ll help you figure it out. It’s fine to bring in works on subsequent days. They’ll get them in to the show somehow. They’re quite flexible!

Come on by the Norfolk Library on Thursday, August 6th from 5:30-7:30 for free music, fun, and art! All ages welcome. There’ll be snacks and drinks. The concert starts at 6:30 right next door and runs through 8:30!

Share the news! Bring a friend!
