The BAC is Accepting Exhibition Proposals for 2010
Open to all artists residing in Colorado. Original works of art that have been created within the past three years, in any media, except video, are eligible.

Exhibitions are scheduled approximately four times per year in five galleries. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to qualify. Accepted artist(s) will receive additional information upon scheduling.
