As the BMFA approaches its 50th Anniversary, we invite all current BMFA member artists to submit work for the upcoming 2025 BMFA Member’s Show, which will be held from January 23rd to March 2nd, 2025. The show’s theme is “In Motion”—a celebration of progress as an ongoing force that is never static, always evolving, and in constant motion. This theme invites you to explore the concepts of kinetic energy, human action, the flow of time, or progress. We seek a range of artistic mediums representing the various styles and practices of our 200-member artists. Winter’s Gift!
