Hi everyone !

OFF THE WALL
JUNE 8 & 9

The Jaffrey Civic Center will be once again holding that fun-for-everyone fundraiser, “Off The Wall” over two days, June 8 & 9 (Tuesday & Wednesday). Each of these days the Center will open its doors at 5:30 to the public for this exciting event. Here’s how it will work. You’ll be briefed on the steps while enjoying refreshments on the first floor. Then at 6, you’ll be allowed to enter upstairs and begin making your purchases where you’ll have over 150 images from which to choose. At 8:30 pm the buying ends.

What’s so interesting about this?

All pieces are 5” x 7”, are not signed on the front, are not framed, and go for $60! There are oils, acrylics, watercolors, colored pencils and pastels to choose from. And if you buy three, you will get one free! There will be 100 frames to choose from and purchase that very night. And, if you like, they can help you put your oils and acrylics into your frame. Checks, cash, Mastercard and Visa will be accepted.

Enjoy !

Painting at Alyson’s Orchard, Walpole, New Hampshire

Greetings to all,   Spring has officially sprung and it really is starting to look like the real thing.
