PAC has an amazing group of talented and loyal members and we want to support them! This year the works are any size, any medium--all with a starting price of $200 or below. At the opening on Thursday November 7th, 15 works of art were sold but there's plenty more to see! If you missed the opening, you can see them in our gallery or online at our online store at this link:   https://pawtucketartscollaborative.wildapricot.org/PAC-Online-Store

The Mill Gallery will be open for this show on Thursdays from 5:30-7:30pm and on Saturdays/Sundays from 1:00-5:00pm. Please check our Facebook page for changes to our open hours. http://www.facebook.com/pawtucketartscollaborative.  

PAC Gallery is located at 560 Mineral Spring Avenue in Pawtucket. Our main entrance is at the front of the building facing the street in between Mixed Magic Theater and Miss Lorraine Diner (which hopefully will be open by Thanksgiving). Parking is limited at this entrance, but there is access to a ramp for persons with difficulty with stairs. For all others, we recommend parking along the side of the building facing Save A Lot grocery store which has a sculpture garden in the back. There is a side entrance with a PAC sign. Go up one flight of stairs and take a left on the 1st floor, we are at the end of the hall and there will be signs.

Blackout Poetry Workshop with Thomas Terceira

Saturday November 23rd

2:00-5:00pm

 Creating blackout poetry is fun and rewarding for artists, designers, writers and just about anyone. In blackout (or erasure) poetry an existing text is altered to uncover a new work by eliminating the majority of the original words.

Blackout poetry is a great way to get your creativity flowing. Come try it for yourself. No experience necessary.

Free and all materials are provided but feel free to bring your favorite art supplies and text to work on if you wish.


Escape from the Holidays at PAC's Mill Gallery

Collage Workshop

December 15th from 1:00-4:00pm

PAC member Lin Collette will be leading a collage art workshop for members and non-members at PAC's Mill Gallery, First Floor, 560 Mineral Spring Avenue in Pawtucket. This is not a formal teaching workshop but, rather, a chance to explore working with paper and other materials to create a new work of art. Materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring in things they'd like to work with. If you have tools you prefer to use (such as Exacto knives, cutting boards, scissors, glue, etc), do bring them with you.

The workshop is free and open to members and non-members, but a $5 donation towards materials would be greatly appreciated.
