Irish Paintout Successful

Massive crowds streamed through the Gallery during the Irish Festival held at Patriot Place on Saturday, St. Patrick's Day. More than a dozen artists painted inside and outside, helping entertain the crowds as foot-stomping Irish music played in the background. A major attraction was Steve Gaul, a popular guest artist at the Gallery, and 3 of his colleagues from SNAC: Southern New England Artist Community. They are Corey Ritch,Charlie Robinson and Scott Francoeur. All four set up shop accross from the gallery and proceeded to sculpt and paint larger-than-life creations -- perfect for drawing a crowd. (Unfortunately we have no pictures of them.) Other artists included Sarah Feragen, Rosemarie Doherty, Mari Connors, Ellen Little, Pat Buckley, Adam Czachorowski, Ralph Calderwood, George Ransom, Vania Noverca Viveiros, Haydi Hurley and Frank Quinn. Photographers Steve Cross, Jerry Crawford and Jack Gannon also participated. It was cooler than expected, but a fun day nevertheless.

St. Patrick's Day Paintout

All artists and art lovers are invited to participate in a live painting show at Patriot Place this Saturday, March 17, on St. Patrick's Day. Patriot Place will host Irish bands which will play live between Skipjack's and Dunkin Donuts, at the North end of the mall, just behind the cinema. And they have invited the Artists Studio & Gallery to join in. The forecast is for good weather, so bring your easels and/or your work to display for the pleasure of what promises to be a sizable and jovial crowd.

Foxboro Art Association is a Hit

As evidenced by the crowd that streamed through the gallery this past Saturday, the Foxboro Art Association's Spring Members Show was a big hit. The show will be on display through Sunday March 25. The hours for the Gallery are Fridays 5-9, Saturdays 1-9 abd Sundays 11-6. All are welcome.
