Annual Meeting And Artist Reception Honors Outgoing Branson Arts Council Executive Director Jim Barber
The Branson Regional Arts Council invites the public to attend the 2024 Annual Member Meeting and New Artist Reception at the Branson Convention Center Art Gallery on the 2nd Level Concourse in Downtown Branson.
This FREE Community Event will be held on Sunday, September 22, 2024 from 6-8pm.
Everyone is welcome! You do NOT have to be a BRAC member!
The annual member meeting will run until approximately 6:30pm, and will provide an opportunity for elections of new board of directors as well announcements regarding several new, exciting events and theatrical performances slated for 2025. Outgoing Executive Director Jim Barber, who has held the position since April 2017, will be honored at this event by the BRAC Board of Directors and special guests!
The short meeting will be followed by an evening of incredible artistry, as we introduce several new artists joining the Art Gallery Exhibition.
The local area artists selected for this six-month exhibition include: Bethanie Adams (Thirkell), Mary Arneson, Meike Aton, Diana Bogardus, Jennifer Buttell, Jack Clutter, Lee Copen, Ketty Diaz, Peggy Dyke, Ivan Edson, Jasmine Hutton and Vic Mastis. Their creative works will be on display and available for purchase through mid-March 2025.
The Branson Convention Center Art Gallery has been visited in past years by approximately 100,000 people annually. Several of the featured artists will be attending the reception to discuss their work, and members of the Branson Regional Arts Council Board will be there to answer any questions. Refreshments will be available as well.
Bring yourself, or a group of friends and enjoy this FREE community event!
