Only four months away!

The excitement is almost palpable...we're gearing up for our annual members' exhibition which will be held from May 18 through May 21 at the Brunswick Library.  This is going to be our best show yet...we can just feel it!  All members of Brunswick Art Works, 18-years-old and above, are invited to submit their finest two and three-dimensional art. Pre-registration is required and the drop-off date for artwork is Monday, May 16.  The show will open on Wednesday, May 18, with an awards reception that evening.  Juror for this exhibit is nationally-known award winner, Mel Grunau, who is a founding member of  The Ohio Watercolor Society. Prospectus, along with additional information, will be available soon.  Of course, we are willing to share the excitement, so if you are interested in being involved with the planning of this exhibit, please contact Julie Zabkar (jzabmom@gmail.com) or Lee Beuther (lbeutherart@gmail.com) as soon as possible.

Brunswick Song...Bud Preston...and YOU

Why not have a song written about Brunswck?  That is the question that was raised by Barbara McGreer, a Brunswick resident, Trustee with the Medina County Arts Council and Trustee with Brunswick Art Works. Why not indeed?

Thanks to Barb's suggestion, in the fall of 2010, BAW contacted Medina County resident and well-known artist, Bud Preston and contracted with  him to create the music for a Brunswick Song.  When Brunswick City Council recently adopted the song officially as the City's song, Bud Preston was there and played the song, and was presented with a certificate by Brunswick Mayor, Gary Werner. 

Now comes YOUR part.  Brunswick Art Works will soon be announcing contest rules for a contest to write lyrics for the music just adopted.  We will have current information posted on this blog, and that information, along with the music, will also be available on the City's website (http://www.brunswick.oh.us/) for anyone interested in entering the contest or just listening to the music.
