December Exhibition

Old Friends

December 5–28, 2025

We’re pleased to welcome Old Friends, curated by Interim Executive Director Susan Jackson. For her final exhibition at BAC, Susan selected a group of longtime artists whose work reflects the history, relationships, and creative spirit that have shaped this organization over many years. Their connection to BAC runs deep, and this exhibition is a heartfelt way to honor that shared story.

Featuring work by Garth Edwards, Kathe Fraga, Debbie Fecher, Jeannie Grisham, Denise Harris, Solia Hermes, Max Grover, Linda Jarvis, Johnpaul Jones, Sandra Leese, Jane Martin, Claudia McKinstry, Shirley Moss, Debbie Peek, Roselyn Gale Powell, Ann Reynolds Pearl, Mary Randlett, Anna von Rosenstiel, Selene Santucci, Cameron Snow and Sally Robison, Bob Spangler, Kent van Slyke, and Ellen Wixted.

Opening reception at First Friday, December 5, 6–8pm.
