BOFA Ready Or Not It's 2015!

Oh my goodness! February is already here! 

Groundhog Day Snow still coming down! 

The rest of the county is having a Snow Day today but, here at BOFA we are busy planning and getting ready for the events of this New Year.





In case you missed it, we had a Christmas Tree in the Belfast Park again in 2014. Many thanks to Kathy Garrison for making that happen!

"We had a Belfast Organization For Artists -
BOFA UFO (UnFinished Objects) Day
at the Belfast Town Hall Jan.29th...lots of quality
 fiber arts in progress.
BOFA members Kathy & Marie
were there along with their fellow
Northern Allegany County Quilters member Carol.
In spite of the nasty weather, we had a fun & productive day."~Kathy Garrison

Do you have Un-Finished Objects? 

Do you want to have fun? 

Do you want to do a little socializing? 

Bring your own supplies

No registration, just stop in 

BOFA Members interested in Open Mic nights, don't forget the Black Eyed Susan Acoustic Cafe in Angelica, NY is having Open Mic night Thursday Feb 5th. Mexican Fiesta starts at 6:00 pm. All Mexican menu; All are welcome to play covers or original tunes, or just listen and enjoy the music of others. Three songs minimum per performer. Sign in on arrival. Open Mic takes place from 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Bob and Gena Decker have hosted the café’s Acoustic Open Mic night for nearly five years. They open the evening with some wonderful tunes of their own, and then introduce other performers in the order in which they signed in.There is no fee to participate and no cover charge. The Decker’s create a casual, relaxed and extremely supportive atmosphere for musicians.As a new twist, we now offer an all-Mexican menu on Open Mic nights. The café opens to the general public at 6:00 p.m. for sopas (soups); aperitivos (appetizers); ensaladas (salads); platos principales (main courses); and postres (desserts). The Fried Ice cream is a huge hit! Open mic begins at 7:00 p.m. and is open to players of all ages, all acoustic styles, and all levels of experience who gather at the café to make music, share a laugh and a good meal.
