“Gallery of Images”

Virtual Opening Reception
July 11 @ 5:00 pm

Thanks to all the artist who entered the BAC’s first ever Virtual Photography Exhibition – Gallery of Images. With 200 submissions the jurors had a difficult task before them.

Juror, Catherine Trapani
In viewing these images, there were many pieces that were very good, even excellent, demonstrating creativity, technical skill and artistic expression. The strength and variety of the submissions made the judging process a difficult task.

Juror, Debra L. Rothenberg
Follow your passions and two words that come to mind - NEVER QUIT. Keep striving to be the best you can be and making yourself happy with your art.

Congratulations to the following artist accepted into the BAC’s Gallery of Images.

Additional information we be emailed to you, as we will need high resolution files of your accepted submissions for the Gallery of Images Catalogue we are producing to be presented as an e-catalogue on the BAC website and a press printed art catalogue.

This is a juried exhibition exclusively for photographers and with an open theme.

Cash prizes of over $1,000 will be awarded in black and white and color categories during our virtual opening on Saturday, July 11. Along with the cash prizes, all those who receive awards will receive a complimentary art book of the accepted images!
