In April, QAA celebrates National Poetry Month with Art Meets Poetry, an annual collaboration with the Clapp Memorial Library. Artwork donated by QAA members is displayed at the library, where poets and writers are invited to compose an original poem inspired by a selected piece. Each artist chooses a winning poem, and the winning poet receives the artwork that inspired it.

Art on the Common is a free, hands-on art activity offered during the Belchertown Farmers Market. Led by an experienced QAA art instructor, this family-friendly event gives visitors of all ages an opportunity to explore their creativity. The event is sponsored by the Belchertown Farmers Market and the Belchertown Cultural Council.
