Before: The BAGSC crew arrives and unpacks artwork. Thank you to all the BAGSC members (and supporters) who came to help!

The Chapman show, “Drought Tolerant Beauty”, is up and it is stunning! There are  59 pieces by 18 of our members. The art is arranged through the gallery areas by drought tolerant mechanisms.  Dr. Jennifer Funk’s students have written wonderful commentaries to accompany the groupings.

Our Artist Reception is Thursday evening, February 7 from 7 – 9 pm.

In addition to the tasty hors d’oeuvres and adult libations, Dr. Funk will talk briefly about her involvement with restoration ecology and drought tolerant plants.

Sorting artwork into drought-tolerant categories.

Plan to attend with your family and friends. Even if you don’t have a piece in the show, you will enjoy seeing this collection of works by our members. You will see work that was inspired by Anita Walsmit Sachs’  workshop, works in a variety of media, and some very unique ways of composing challenging subjects.
