A "give-away" table is also available for members who have art supplies they wish to re-home. Members and non-members are encouraged to attend our meetings.
During Covid: we will assess on a month-to-month basis and may cancel our meetings if health concerns warrant it. Please check below for each month's status.

ART CHATS
In response to COVID prevention and control efforts aimed at ensuring the health and safety of all, the Quabbin Art Association announced our monthly (March-December) public meetings cancelled. In place of meetings QAA held free Zoom Art Chats, an informal gathering of anyone interested in sharing their most recent art creations, activities, classes, dreams.
Thanks to all who joined in on QAA Art Chats via Zoom. We had a good number of participation from artists with multiple interests to share.
