Unique Show at Norfolk Library

There is still time to see a unique art show at the Norfolk Library -- until Nov. 30. The show features beautiful quilts inspired by paintings submitted to quilters last January. Some of the quilters "interpreted" the paintings somewhat abstractly, while others reproduced the painting faithfully, but better. It's hard to describe. But if you get the opportunity to swing by an run in, you really should do it. Trust me.

Upcoming Events in November

If you enjoy attending art events, November is the month for you:
November 14-19, supporting members of the Museum of Fine Arts get a sneak peek at the opening of the new Art of America wing which has been under construction for the last several years. If you are not a member, you have to wait another week to see the new wing. But don't forget to take advantage of your local library's museum pass program to save some money.
November 16 (Tuesday) 6-8 pm is the reception for the quilters and artists who are displaying their paired worksg at the Norfolk Library this month.
November 19 (Friday) 5-8 pm, the J.Todd Gallery (Rte 16 in Wellesley) will host a reception diplaying 60 paintings of Boston by well-known local artists.
November 19-21 (weekend) is the 14th Annual Boston International Art Show in the Cyclorama Building, 539 Tremont St. in the South End of Boston. Admission is $15, but the art is glorious. http://www.fineartboston.com/.

Boyden Library Art Auction

The Boyden Library has been very generous to the Foxboro Art Association over the years. Next March is our chance to give back. There is art auction being planned to be held at the Foxboro Country Club and we are asking for your art donations to make it a success. More details to follow, but it should be a wonderful event and a great opportunity to gain exposure for all artists.
