Current Show:
R3: Recycle, Re-use, Re-purpose

R3 is an annual exhibit at Gallery on the Square, encouraging the use of materials that might otherwise be discarded or used for another purpose, and turning them into--what else? ART! The show runs through June 18th. Come enjoy the transformation that happens when junk becomes creative treasure for your home and garden.
Just missed it? The BBAC first annual print show, Make Your Mark, included a wide variety of hand-made one-offs and limited edition prints of artists' original work. Many pieces are still available at the gallery in individual artist displays!
