Current Show:

R3 - Recycle, Reuse, Re-purpose Show

One person's trash...is a BBAC member's opportunity to recycle and turn it into art! The show R3: Recycle, Reuse, Re-purpose is currently running, April 26th to June 19th, at Gallery on the Square.  Each year this annual show has produced some of the most creative work around, and the challenge continues. The show is open to all BBAC members and those who join with their entries. 

   Artists showing in the current show include Virginia Brotherton, Amanda Calhoun, Carol Fairlie, Lori Griffin, Emory Holman, and Cadillac Mele. 

   In addition to the recycled art show, a special show, Wots in the Box, is a window display showcasing "surprise" art in pre-wrapped decorated boxes. Buyers can discover the artist and a description of the work, but cannot see the piece before purchasing. What you don't see is what you get!
