WELCOME…

The Burlingame Art Society was organized in 1957 by a group of artists who wanted to practice the principals of traditional art in our present-day world. Our membership includes men and women actively participating in the pursuit of quality visual arts while providing friendly relationships with other artists. Among our members are art teachers, talented artists as well as those who are genuinely interested in a learning experience. Beginners are welcome.

We are a non-profit organization with the purpose of promoting art and the appreciation of art in our community. Our efforts are not only directed to adults but also to encourage young people to participate in our local community programs.

At present, the Burlingame Art Society members exhibit their talents in local banks, the Burlingame Recreation Center, City Hall, Art in the Park and Music in the Park. Some members also exhibit outside the city at other venues. These venues provide an opportunity for our members to share their talents in public exhibitions.

The BAS meets on the first Wednesday of the month, September through June, at the Burlingame Lions Club Hall, 990 Burlingame Ave,. at 7:00 p.m.. We encourage each member to bring a painting to the meetings. Meetings are free and open to the public. Light refreshments are served.

All meetings feature a guest professional artist/instructor who demonstrates his or her own medium. The guest artist critiques a few paintings picked randomly while judging all monthly paintings for first, second, third and honorable mentions awards. A Popular Choice award is selected by members present at the meeting. Winning First Place Award and Popular Choice entitles the artist to participate for the Artist of the Year awarded at the December Award Luncheon. Artists of the month is also awarded at the December Luncheon.

We welcome and invite the public to attend any of our free meetings and to become a member.
