The Franklin Art Association was established in 1971 to provide a forum for the promotion of visual arts; for the preservation of the finest artistic traditions by means of exhibiting works, conducting classes, lectures, and sponsoring other activities favorable to artistic expression and to provide friendly exchanges among painters, photographers, sculptors and those interested in the fine arts.

Regular monthly meetings are held at the New Franklin Senior Center, a large new building located diagonally across from the town common and across from St. Mary's Church, from 6:30 p.m. to approximately 9:00 p.m., the first Thursday of each month, September through June.

Paul & Tina Guarino have graciously taken charge of the Fall Show Committee and are busily moving ahead with plans for the show, which will be held on the weekend of November 7-8th.

They need your help, please consider participating!    Please read the initial show planning notes!

The new day to meet will be the first THURSDAY of each month instead of WEDNESDAY!
