Billings Arts Association conducts about four shows a year, publishes a quarterly newsletter, holds monthly informal coffees, and arranges several workshops, demos and talks annually. Membership exceeds 125 visual artists in media including painting in oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, charcoal and inks, handmade books, photography, fine woodwork and intarsia, metalwork, sculpture, to name several. We are an inclusive organization of people who share the joy and merit of encouraging creativity in each other and the community.
The mission of the BAA is both charitable and educational. Its goals are: (1) to offer seminars, workshops and/or other classes in art-related skills; (2) to establish and maintain such artist programs that will further the educational goals of BAA; (3) to promote appreciation of, interest in, and understanding of the fine arts, by bringing together groups and individuals working in the arts in the Billings area for sharing of common interests, mutual cooperation and service to the Billings community.
