BBAC would like to acknowledge Judith Loya for her work as show coordinator in the past, and welcome Aaron Brooks as her replacement. Aaron will be assisting the shows' curators, logging entries and creating ID labels for the works in the shows. Thank you both for your service!

Now you can access and print a standard entry form for any BBAC show! Just be sure to enter the title of the show at the top. Another way we are streamlining our processes. Hope to see your work in the next show!

The critique group meets every other month at Gallery On The Square - 115 W. Holland Ave.
