Reminder: October 3rd an Orange Revitalization Partnership (ORP) Fundraising Artist Reception.
Something lovely is happening at Stage on Main (17 South Main Street Orange MA) this fall, and all of it comes back to Orange.
Michelle Andrews — a Mahar graduate who grew up here — is showing thirty-two of her oil paintings at Stage on Main, 17 South Main Street, from Wednesday, September 2 through December.
One hundred percent of every painting sold goes to the Orange Revitalization Partnership. Not a share of it. All of it.
Michelle's parents, Bob and Pat Andrews, were founding and lifelong board members of the Partnership, and she has set the show up this way because of them.
The paintings are $50 to $150, so this is a real chance to own one — and every dollar stays in Orange, funding the work you already know: the farmers' market, Riverfront Park, Starry Starry Night.
Meet the Artist — Saturday, October 3, 5 to 8 p.m. Free, and everyone is welcome. There will be refreshments from the New Salem General Store, and Michelle will be there all evening.
Gallery hours change with volunteer availability — check facebook.com/stageonmain before you go.

ORP is a small volunteer led non-profit organization founded in the early 1990s to play a role in the turnaround of town of Orange, Massachusetts. Our purpose is to lead through the cooperative effort of the business community, the municipal government and private individuals, to work for the improvement and revitalization of Orange.
We do this by fostering and promoting development of Orange businesses and mitigating economic distress, by promoting and enhancing the culture and quality of life and by improving the appearance of the downtown area and town.
If you look around town, you can see many projects either started by or still supported by O.R.P. and its volunteers. From the restoration of the State Peace Statue and the renovation and upkeep of Memorial Park, to groundbreaking of the Greenway with Riverfront Park and the Orange Community Boathouse, the weekly farmers' market, Starry Starry Night, Dinner by the River, Murals and the annual Marcia Larocque Spiff It Up Cleanups.
The Orange Revitalization Partnership has been a community partner for more than three decades.
A charming and welcoming space for all people to gather and enjoy the arts, and shop in downtown Orange. We feature artists and crafters of all ages.
Programming is comprised of the MarketPlace, the Petit Concert Series, Main and Annex Galleries.
