Upcoming Events:

R3 - Recycle, Reuse, Re-purpose Show

Reception:  Friday, May 4th, 5 to 7pm    

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 coming up 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. 

   Entries are due for this show from Sunday, April 22 to Tuesday, April 24.  We hang the show on April 25th.

Last year's recycled work filled our gallery window and much more inside!
