GALLERY SHOW & ART SALE

Poetry In Motion

The Beach Art Center Gallery Committee invites artists to participate in our annual Poetry in Motion exhibition — a unique celebration of the connection between visual art and the written word.

This open media show welcomes both members and non-members. All work will be professionally judged, with cash and ribbon awards presented at the reception.

There is no set theme — instead, we encourage you to let your imagination lead. Create work that speaks, suggests, or stirs emotion. After submission, invited poets will view the artwork and select pieces that inspire them to write original poems. Selected poems may be displayed alongside the artwork, creating a dynamic dialogue between image and language.

Creative Kids Camp

Our 6-week Creative Kids Camp was a huge success! Dozens of young artists explored clay, painting, animation, and more—bringing their imaginations to life through hands-on projects and lots of laughter.

 

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing teachers Jen Perez and Deb Vest, our dedicated volunteers, and the Church of the Isles for generously hosting us. It was a joyful, art-filled summer where creativity and community came together!
