You can’t enter into both groups. There will be one set of prizes across all entries for the “Gallery Prizes.” Then, separately, the BVAA will have a set of prizes for BVAA members only, for their Spring Show. So if you enter as a BVAA member you’ll be eligible for both set of prizes.

Cash prizes and Gift Certificates will be awarded as well as ribbons for first through third place in categories which will be determined after all submissions are in. All work exhibited must be for sale.  The artist shall receive 55% of the sale, Premier Image Gallery receives 40%, the BVAA receives 5%

This is the reception for the “Spring” show and also the drop-off for the upcoming “Sports”-themed show.

Lisa forgot to take photos of the Milford TV station Winter Show back in February, when we took down the Winter show. We’d like to post photos of what we had in that show on our website. If you have any photos of the items you had in that show, please email them to Lisa AT LisaShea.com so she can assemble a page for them. Thanks!

The next reception at Milford will be Thursday, April 23rd – and the new theme at that point will be “Sports.” That gives you some time to prepare!
