Current Show: Holiday Miniatures

   Running through January 9, 2020 is our annual Holiday Miniature Show at Gallery on the Square, featuring small original works of art by BBAC members. 

   Small works make great holiday gifts, and you can peruse the gallery's permanent exhibits for that extra special one! 

    The membership holiday party coincides with a reception for the event on Thursday, December 12, from 6 to 9 pm at Gallery On The Square.  This year, there are more than a dozen pieces of art to be awarded as door prizes, so come early and sign up to win! Refreshments will be served.

    Also on this date is an Alpine Starlight Shopping evening.  Look and listen for carolers out singing this night! Gallery hours are also extended to 9 pm on December 19th, when hot chocolate, hot apple cider, & Christmas cookies will put you in the holiday spirit!

MEMBER REMINDER:  Wednesday, December 11 at 11 am, the BBAC Critique group will meet at Carol Fairlie's Studio on Lockhart Ave (across from True Value Parking lot).
