Hope For The Future

NOTE - After a lengthy conversation with BHAS administration, SCWCA was encouraged to have fewer artists exhibit in the May show....in an effort to have more cohesiveness in our booth. Four artists will be exhibiting at our booth. These four artists submitted work very early in the call for art process. We will reevaluate for our October show at BHAS.

Thank you for understanding,
