Despite Restrictions, the Show Goes On!
This year's BBAC Membership Show is running now through November 29th at Gallery on the Square. A wide variety of media and styles provide visitors with a great experience during this fall show. Why not come to Alpine when the weather is at its best for outdoor strolling? And then come inside the Gallery on the Square, which is adhering to safety guidelines for keeping you and the gallery hosts safe during the pandemic, while providing you with the enrichment of local Big Bend culture.
NOTE: If you are uncomfortable coming into the gallery, but are interested in a piece in the window or posted on our Facebook page, our hosts will be glad to bring it outside the gallery for your perusal. Thank you for your cooperation and support of local artists.
BBAC Show Scheduled
2020 Holiday Miniature Show
The last remaining show for the year will be the Holiday Miniature Show, which features small works 36" square or less. Works in this show provide creative alternatives for gift-giving, and though the work is small the impact of an original art gift is large. This show runs from December 3 through January 10.
Interested artists should see the show's prospectus for guidelines and entry form.
Come to Membership Meetings!
BBAC members are welcome and encouraged to attend the monthly membership meetings which run through the spring (no meetings during the summer).
Meetings are generally held the third Sundays of each month at 2 pm at the Museum of the Big Bend on the Sul Ross State University Campus. For more information, please email info@bigbendartscouncil.org.
