About Us

Posted on January 21, 2011 by Administrator

The Bellevue Artists Association was organized in 1974 to promote interest and appreciation of fine art in the Bellevue Nebraska area.

Although we are located Bellevue, our membership also includes artists from various surrounding communities, including Omaha, Plattsmouth and Pa pillion.

Our monthly meetings are a time for learning and camaraderie. Each meeting includes a special presentation of interest to artists. Past topics have included: Framing for competitions Copyright law for artists Pastel painting Techniques Photographing your artwork Participating in art fairs Ink-jet (giclee) reproductions

We also present dynamic and inspirational art workshops, in a variety of media, taught by regional and nationally recognized artists.

The two tables shown below display the current leadership of the Bellevue Artists Association.
