Is it a satellite?
No, it's a painting on a satellite dish! See News for more info about how you can attend a dish-painting workshop, and enter an art dish for the R3 Recycled Art Show coming up this spring!

The Big Bend Arts Council Established 2004
The BIG BEND ARTS COUNCIL’S purpose is to provide a forum for supporting and promoting the arts in the Big Bend region; to encourage community interest in the arts and to share ideas, discuss techniques, encourage creativity, provide consultation to area and city organizations and to work cooperatively with other art groups in the region.
NOTE: Gallery on the Square is adhering to safety guidelines for keeping you and the gallery hosts safe during the Covid-19 pandemic, while providing you with the enrichment of local Big Bend culture. 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.

Rotating exhibits at the West Texas National Bank and Big Bend Regional Medical Center are great opportunities for BBAC members to display your wall art to new sets of eyes in our community.
Note: Bank/Hospital rotational exhibits are on hold beginning the week of Thanksgiving, 2020, after Richard Curtin's exhibit ends, as the indoor bank lobby is currently not open for business. However, members may still sign up for these exhibits at the gallery, or by contacting Shelly Rogers.
