MEETINGS and ART CHATS

Our monthly general membership meetings begin at 6:30 pm and are held the third Thursday of the month, September through May, at Saint Francis Parish Hall (Downstairs),12 Park Street, Belchertown. [Google Map]

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 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 PM at the Clapp Memorial Library, 19 South Main Street in Belchertown, MA . QAA members are invited to attend as non-voting observers.
