BIZZART GALLERY-BISBEE AZ

THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH I TOOK, IF MEMORY SERVES ME, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE PHOTO IS OF BIZZART GALLERY, AN ARTS CO-OP LOCATED ON BISBEE'S HISTORIC BREWERY GULCH, A STREET ONCE REPUTED TO HAVE BEEN THE MOST NOTORIOUS STREET IN THE OLD WEST. THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS SHOT AT NIGHT UTILIZING THE EXISTING LIGHT. LARRY ELKINS - ELKINSPHOTOS FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

On November 13th, 2010, BIZZART GALLERY, located at 41 Brewery Ave. - Bisbee, Arizona, will host the first annual BISBEE INVITATIONAL PHOTO SHOW (BIPS).

Award winners will be announced at the November 13th show. The juror for this event will be Terry Etherton, one of America's most respected art experts.

BIZZART GALLERY-BISBEE AZ

BIZZART GALLERY-BISBEE AZ - I just want to remind everyone who resides in S. E. Arizona or plans to visit in the near future, that Bisbee Arizona is a great place to visit. Visually, Bisbee is a photographer's dream. This mile high city boasts considerably cooler Summer temperatures than Tucson or Phoenix. It also provides wonderful shopping opportunities, especially for the art lovers among us. And while you'e in Bisbee, don't forget to visit BIZZART GALLERY located on Historic Brewery Gulch. This artists' cooperative is situated at 41 Brewery Ave. The gallery represents approximately thirty, mostly area, artists including yours truly. The gallery features a variety of painting, photography, jewelry, sculpture and fabric arts. BizzArt's mission is to provide exhibition space for an eclectic mix of established and not yet established artists. BizzArt's five rooms of gallery space plus the Brewery Ave. Designs embroidered clothing retail shop, offer a feast for the eyes. In addition, the prices at BizzArt tend to be significantly less than at those galleries located on Bisbee's Main Street. However, speaking of Main Street, don't forget to visit Panterra Gallery (22 Main St). This wonderful art gallery spotlights photography and designer clothing.
