We are a group of artists from Bellevue, Nebraska and numerous area communities, including Omaha, Plattsmouth, and Papillion to name a few.

Bellevue Artists' Association was formed in 1974 to promote interest in the fine arts and encourage art appreciation in this area.

We sponsor several art exhibits and judged shows each year, including our premier show, the Annual Silver Palette Awards Show. We also present dynamic and inspirational art workshops, in a variety of media, taught by regional and nationally recognized artists.

Our monthly meetings are a time for learning and camaraderie, and each meeting includes a special presentation of interest to artists. Just a few past topics have included-

• How to frame for competitions
  
• Copyright law for artists
  
• Techniques for painting with pastels
  
• How to photograph your artwork
  
• Tips for participating in outdoor art fairs
• Ink-jet (giclee) reproductions
  

New members are always welcome. Members receive the monthly newsletter with information of interest to artists, such as topics for our monthly meetings, competitions, shows and selling opportunities, and upcoming workshops.

Please contact us for further information about the Bellevue Artists' Association. We'll be pleased to answer any questions you have about our group.
