MEETINGS and ART CHATS
General Meetings
Monthly general meetings are held the third Thursday of the month from September thru May in the downstairs meeting room at the St. Francis Parish Hall, 12 Park Street, Belchertown, Massachusetts.
Free and open to the public, our meetings are a gathering place for collaboration among artists and art appreciators. Meetings consist of a business meeting followed by an artist's demonstration, lecture, or information session. 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.
Board Meetings
Board Meetings are currently being held the first Thursday of every other month (Sept, Nov, Jan, March, May) with the exception of July and August. Meetings are held at 4:30 p.m. at the Parish House (to the right of St. Francis ) 10 Park Street in Belchertown, MA on the Town Common. QAA members are invited to attend as non-voting observers.

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.
