Annual Meeting on Wed, 11/11, 7-9 pm
Please join us at the JP Arts Council Annual Meeting on Wednesday, November 11, from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Footlight Club, 7 Eliot St, Jamaica Plain.
We’ll kick off the meeting with a relaxed opportunity to connect, catch up, and commiserate with fellow artists and volunteers over pizza and beverages.
We’ll have a fun, creative fundraising art activity to help “update” the JPOS 2026 T-shirt design (think Nor-Easter 2026!), so if you purchased a shirt, be sure to bring it along, but don’t wear it!! We will also have just a few (mostly in large sizes) left for sale.
If you missed our Small Works Sale earlier this year, you will also have another chance to browse and purchase artwork created by your fellow artists.
During the meeting we will review the JPAC’s efforts over the past year, the difficult cancellation of the 2026 event, and begin the planning process of our 34th JP Open Studios in 2027! (9/25 and 9/26)
All are welcome: we look forward to seeing you!
