Congratulations to Linq (GALA member Diane Lincoln)!

The Royalston-based singer/songwriter was named OUTstanding OUTmusician at the
7th Annual OutMusic Awards Show held at Irving Plaza in New York City on May 23rd.
One of five nominees in the category, which combines music and activism as criteria, Linq's work on bullying prevention through her song "Oh Bully" and related outreach in her own community resulted in the award. This was Linq's second nomination for an OutMusic Award; the first nomination was in 2009 for "Change the Picture", which deals with racism and homophobia. More info & photos of the event are available at Linq's website.

Lori MacDonald invites you to view her solo exhibit "In Compelling Light", a collection of her original acrylic paintings and fine art prints
at the Townsend Meeting Hall Art Gallery
12 Dudley Rd, Townsend, MA 

Exhibit runs until July 26, 2011.

Congratulations to Lisa Regopoulos & Paula Murphy!  

Paula and Lisa now hold the title of Signature Members of the Pastel Painters of Maine. Signature Membership is an honor conferred when an artist has been juried into and has exhibited at three PPOM International Juried Exhibitions.   Lisa's website 

A collection of 30 collage paintings by Princeton resident, Len Haug, are on exhibit now until July 31 at the Mountainside Market at 23 Hubbardston Road in Princeton, MA. All works are for sale and include a variety of subjects including various seasonal scenes of Princeton and surrounding towns. While Len works in all media, his passion lies in creating "paintings" out of cut and shredded papers and discarded photographs. Len has won numerous local, area, and regional awards for his unique artwork.  Len's website

Lori MacDonald is taking registrations for her Beginner Acrylic Landscape Class to be held at the Boulder Art Gallery, 960 Main St., Fitchburg. The class begins July 18 from 6:30-8:30 pm and continues July 25, August 1, August 8, August 15, concluding on August 22.

     

This class provides an easy-to-follow demonstration so the student can learn techniques used to create a landscape painting with acrylics. Three paintings will be completed with the step-by-step instruction: one on a stretched canvas, one on acrylic watercolor paper, and one on a canvas panel. The last two weeks of the class will be set aside for each student to work on a simple landscape from their own photo references. Lori will give guidance as needed.

   

The cost is $60 for the 6 lessons, plus $10 for the canvases and other painting surfaces. If you have the brushes and paints from Lori's previous classes, bring them. If you are new to Lori's classes she will provide paints and brushes for use during this course for an additional $10 fee.

   

               To register, contact Lori at [email protected] or call 978-407-9333
