Arts and Crafts Fair
Jaffrey Civic Center, Jaffrey, NH

Annual Fall Show at the JCC
The Jaffrey Civic Center is very excited to present our Annual Fall Show. This exhibition will run through November 1.
This exhibition gathers diverse artistic voices, each offering a unique interpretation of
impermanence. Some works may capture the delicate beauty of nature’s transitions, while others may explore the metaphorical “seasons” of human life—moments of growth, change, loss, and renewal. Together, these interpretations remind us that impermanence is both inevitable and essential: it is what gives meaning to beauty, poignancy to memory, and vitality to the present moment. Visitors are encouraged to look closely and consider how each piece connects to the theme, discovering their own interpretations along the way.
A Collection of Work by Roz Park
Jaffrey, NH – The Jaffrey Civic Center is very excited to share with the public ‘A Collection of Work’ by Roz Park. This exhibition will run September 26–November 1.
Roz Park lives in an upstairs apartment that she also uses as her studio. “I like living closely with the things that I make and collect. My environment determines the size of what I can do, I might make large assemblages living in a large space!” Living in N.Y.C. in the 70’s and 80’s as a young person, was the education that Park had been looking for, coming from a small New England town. Assemblage and collage, but also painting, whatever the materials, hopefully reveals something that is worth sharing. For her, beauty is an antidote to all that is difficult. Park says, “I like the photographer Robert Adams’ comment, “Even though art is always imperfect, successful art rediscovers beauty for us.”
The Jaffrey Civic Center’s hours are Wednesdays – Fridays 12:00 – 5:00 pm, and Saturdays 10:00 – 2:00 pm.
The Jaffrey Civic Center is located at 40 Main Street in Jaffrey, NH, and is open 12:00 to 5:00 pm, on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturdays. For more information, head to their website: www.jaffreyciviccenter.com
The Jaffrey Civic Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit cultural facility founded in 1966. The Center’s mission is to provide and sustain a public venue where citizens and residents of the Monadnock region, as well as visitors to the area, can pursue artistic, educational, and civic activities. The Center’s goal is to contribute to the cultural enrichment and enlightenment of the community. The Center does not charge an admission fee, and all art shows and receptions are free and open to the public. The Center also hosts fee-based educational and other programs, as well as serving as the home of the Jaffrey Historical Society. For more information about the Jaffrey Civic Center, please visit the Center’s website.

Sequencing Painting Series
Alstead, NH
| | |
Join our Sequencing Painting Series! Explore the art of sequencing in three unique workshops—take one, or enjoy more for a discount.
October 4 - Sequencing Seascape Painting
Sequencing is a way for both beginners and more experienced art makers to enter the process of painting at a deep and direct level. Through this process, Sequencing allows you to engage in creating art without self-doubt or other barriers that can inhibit creativity. You engage directly with the paint, surface and tools in a very immediate and tactile way.
Sequencing quickly identifies important elements in our creative work, momentarily suspends part of our thought process, and allows us to begin work without the burdens of self-doubt, memory, and desire. It helps to free us from the idea that quality artwork is wholly dependent on technique. Sequencing is an approach to painting developed at River Gallery School by Ric Campman.
In this workshop, we will bring our work outside and paint directly from observing the landscape

Make Art at Main Street Studios
Fitchburg, MA
| |
Do you get inspired by fellow artists? Would the company of other creatives motivate you to work on an idea or abandoned project?
Come to Main Street Studios on Tuesday evenings. We have plenty of work space for you to set up with your writing, painting, knitting, etc.
We will socialize for a half hour-ish and then have a quiet hour or two to do the work. If you are inclined to share at the end of the evening - or the end of the summer, you are welcome to do so. But that is not required.
Main Street Studios has coffee/tea/water and maybe a few snacks. There are also options for delivery if you want to order dinner.
The point of this evening is to have fun and employ a little gentle peer pressure to kick aside those creative blocks. If you have any questions, send us a message or leave a comment in the event. You can also email studios@fitchburgculturalalliance.org.
