Welcome to the Franklin Art Association!

May 7th Meeting – Shilpa Adduri

On Wednesday, May 7th we will warmly greet guest demo artist Shilpa Adduri. She will be giving a step-by-step water-based media demonstration. Our free and open to the public meetings are held at the Franklin Senior Center at 6:30 PM the first Wednesday of the month (with a summer hiatus).

Shilpa Adduri works in a technique called “One Stroke”. She is a Master Elite Director of this style which combines shading, blending and highlighting in a single brushstroke, central to her teaching. She gives lessons helping others to uncover their art potential while fostering joy and connection. Her approach offers creativity and moments of tranquility. She gives lessons locally.

Wanting to be inspiration, she says, “My art captures the beauty and serenity I find in the world, expressed through acrylics and watercolors.”

Monthly Meetings

Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at the Franklin Senior Center, 10 Daniel McCahill St, Franklin, MA (directions), with a short business meeting starting at 6:30 followed by the featured presentation.
