Each year, in August, the group holds an Annual Art Exhibition at Battle Memorial Hall
Our 2026 Exhibition was a great success!
Members pay a small fee to enter a number of works both framed or for the browsers plus greetings cards.
The show is open for 10 days and we hold a Preview Evening to launch the event.
Work is available for sale along side the BDAG Charity Calendar featuring members work.
At each show there are a range of Awards given by BDAG, patrons and sponsors. See links at bottom of page for more info
