Artist of the Month

Join us for the Bay City Arts Center Artist of the Month on Friday, September 2, 5pm-7pm, we will hold a Gallery Reception celebrating the work of local Batik Artists and Phil Rheiner. This monthly event is free and open to the public.

Batik Artists of the Month includes the work of a collection of artists who have attended the Arts Center Batik Workshops in 2021 and 2022.  A wax-resist fabric-dyeing process, Batik combines bold colors with delicate designs for eye-catching and unique pieces.
