Fall Members' Show

Once again this year's Fall Members' Show will be displayed at the Artist's Studio & Gallery at Patriot Place and will be on display for the first two weekends in October, Oct. 5-7 and Oct. 12-14. Each member is allowed to submit two works for a fee of $5/entry. The artist's reception is tentatively planned for the second Saturday, Oct. 13, from 2-5. A judge will award ribbons in each media some time between the first and second weekend and the public will be asked to vote for "The Peopl's Choice Award" which will then be announced during the reception on Oct. 13. The drop off will be Thursday, Oct. 4, 3-7 pm. And pick-up will be Sunday Oct 14 at 6-7pm or Monday, Oct. 15 3-5 pm. Members will be asked to help cover the gallery and greet the public for 4-hour shifts both weekends. The more the merrier! Just so you know, the first Sunday of the exhibit (Oct. 7) will coincide with a 4:15 Patriots football game against the Denver Broncos. But there are no football games scheduled for the second weekend. As usual, the forms will be mailed out with the September newsletter and made available at the September 12 meeting. Feel free to e-mail Frank Quinn with any questions at fxquinn@yahoo.com.

Renew Your Membership

The Foxboro Art Association has been an important part of the local art scene for more than 55 years. It helped raise $15,000 for the Boyden (Foxboro) Library; subsidized art workshops; maintained a blog through our website; published informative monthly newsletters; supported the new Artist’s Studio and Gallery at Patriot Place; awarded annual scholarships to deserving high school students and artists; and hosted wonderful demonstrators (see the photos above and below) at our monthly meetings -- to say nothing about giving our members the chance to rub elbows with some of the nicest people around.
Our mission is to encourage local art and local artists. But we need your dues and your participation to be effective.  Please renew your membership now for the upcoming year and send in your dues of $30 to the Foxboro Art Association, PO Box 440, Foxboro MA 02035.
And if you are considering joining for the first time, this is all it takes: just your dues and contact information. It's that easy. Mail it now. You will be glad you did. Our first meeting of the new year is September 12th, 7 - 9 pm at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church (aside of Foxboro High School at 116 South Street). But we encourage you to come early, say at about 6:30, so you can meet other members and enjoy some snacks. Hope you can come.
