Boothbay Region Art Foundation (BRAF) is having its popular "Art in the Square 2021" to open on Nov. 20 at 9 a.m. for Early Bird Sale Saturday. Great holiday gifts can be found among these 12” x 12” works by local and regional artists.

Art in the Square consists of original works of art mostly on 12" by 12" canvases - but including many versions of other mediums using the same dimensions for fiber art, watercolors, collage, photos on canvas, and even wooden assemblages.

BRAF will be accepting completed squares during the gallery’s hours, daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through October and November. Please note: As of Oct. 21 BRAF will be open Thursdays-Sundays, same hours; in January, by chance or appointment only.

Delivered squares will be hung on Nov. 15 and 16. As always, BRAF invites artists to replace sold pieces at any time during the show. 
 

All pieces sell for $125 with $75 going to the artists and the remainder is divided between BRAF's “overhead," the Annual Scholarship Fund awarded to two graduating seniors,  seeking further education in the field of visual art, and for the K-12 Student Art Show held in May.

Boothbay Region Art Foundation is at 1 Townsend Ave. in Boothbay Harbor. For more information, call 633-2703 and/or visit https://www.boothbayartists.org.
