BAScon Art Show
The Art Show is a fun, well-lit place to check out the talents of the wonderful artists who have worked long and hard to produce the amazing art that is the BASCon art show.
We've been fortunate in the past to feature various types of art including prints, jewelry, and mixed media pieces and we're always on the look out for the new and different. If you have any questions or would like to submit to the show for BASCon 10, please contact our art show coordinator, Liz, at lizkeough@gmail.com
