Gallery organizers say the awards aren't the only prize artists win by entering their work.
'It's not just about the awards because this is a juried show,' said Bay Arts Alliance Executive Director Jayson Kretzer. 'A lot of these artists, just making the show, I mean, it's a pretty big deal. This is a staple art show in Bay County, and it just continues to get better every year as we see these creatives develop and new creatives joining in.'
This is a fine art competition, so no digital artwork or photography will be up.
The gallery will be available for viewing until Saturday, May 31st, and it is always free to view.

A New Exhibition at SCAD Focuses On André Leon Talley's Life In Clothes
André Leon Talley: Style Is Forever,' a new exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah (August 15 through January 11) and the SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta (October 15 through March 1), tells the singular story of a man who grew up in the racist Old South and came to conquer the world of fashion—and it tells that story through clothes. Long before André came into my life, he'd already led a fascinating, complicated, and mercurial one himself. He was a distant, almost mythic figure to me—a curious mixture of bravado (even braggadocio), glamour, kindness, and faith. I learned later that he was brought up in Durham, North Carolina, mostly by his grandmother Bennie Frances Davis, who worked as a cleaning lady at Duke University for 50 years. Her clothes, if few, were immaculate—for her, being well-dressed was both a compliment to other people and a service to oneself—and she was adored by her grandson. André had been an exemplary student at Brown University, after which he moved to New York City and began an apprenticeship at The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum under the redoubtable Diana Vreeland in 1974. And though André absolutely savored New York, he had no money, so he picked up incredible pieces at thrift stores, including the long military coat that he wore constantly—including to the party that The Met held at the end of the official gala, where he joined all the other kids who wanted to see what the guests were wearing as they raced through the Great Hall to their waiting limousines. He also found a pith helmet, army shirts (always laundered and starched), a safari jacket, and Bermuda shorts, and with these he cut a distinctive, often eccentric, figure.

Candid Beatles moments captured by Paul McCartney to be exhibited in London
A new exhibition at Gagosian in London will showcase Paul McCartney's candid photographs of the Beatles during their meteoric rise in the early 1960s. Titled "Rearview Mirror: Liverpool–London–Paris", the show opens on 28 August and offers an unusually intimate look at the band's early days – through the eyes of McCartney himself. Shot between December 1963 and February 1964 on his 35mm Pentax camera, the photos chronicle the explosive moment just before the Fab Four conquered America. The images – some single shots, others grouped as contact sheets – capture McCartney and his bandmates during a dizzying period when Beatlemania was erupting across the UK and spreading to Europe. 'Unassuming' and 'unguarded' is how the gallery describes them, and it's not hard to see why: this is the band as only one of their own could see them – backstage, between shows, and in stolen moments of quiet before the storm of global fame. One haunting self-portrait shows McCartney reflected in a mirror in the attic room of his then-girlfriend Jane Asher's family home, the very place he famously dreamt the melody for the song 'Yesterday'. Other standout scenes include behind-the-scenes snapshots at the Lewisham Odeon, Finsbury Park Astoria and the London Palladium, where the Beatles played to increasingly frenzied crowds. There's even a set of frames capturing the tense build-up before their transatlantic flight to New York – the beginning of their global takeover. The prints, remastered from negatives thought lost for over 50 years, are signed by McCartney and issued in a small, carefully crafted edition – each framed in a style he designed himself. This London exhibition follows McCartney's photography debut earlier this year at Gagosian Beverly Hills, and runs in parallel with the touring show "Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm", currently on view at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. Whether you're a Beatles die-hard or just curious to see a cultural storm from a new angle, "Rearview Mirror" promises an up-close look at one of the most transformative times in modern music – seen through the eyes of someone who helped shape it. "Rearview Mirror: Liverpool–London–Paris" runs at Gagosian London (Davies Street) from 28 August-4 October 2025.

Racecourse celebrates 150 years with exhibition
A museum exhibition is exploring the history of one of the UK's most important racecourses as it marks a significant milestone. Sandown Park in Esher, Surrey, is celebrating 150 years since it was founded in 1875 with exhibits showing the origins of the racecourse, its royal links and the part it played in developing modern horse racing. The course, the first purpose-built venue with paid admission and enclosures, is the centre of the exhibition at the House of Killik in Esher High Street, which runs until 31 October. Sarah Drabwell, general manager of Sandown Park, said the racecourse was "hugely proud to have been part of the local Elmbridge community for the past 150 years". In 1875, Sandown's entry fee of at least half a crown made it one of the first courses to charge racegoers to attend its events. During World War One and Two the racecourse was sown with crops to support war efforts, while housing the Royal Engineers during World War One and the Welsh Guard during both conflicts. The course continued to make history when, in 1948, it hosted the first ever televised horse race. In 1957, Sandown also hosted the first sponsored race in British history. Nowadays, the venue also hosts music events, exhibitions and has its own golf course. A spokesperson for Elmbridge Museum, which helped to create the exhibition, said: "One hundred and fifty years is a momentous milestone and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the rich heritage, defining moments, and communities that have shaped the racecourse over the years. "We hope visitors enjoy exploring its fascinating story and legacy, and we're grateful to Killik for kindly hosting the display at their premises." Money from the exhibition will also raise money for The Community Fund, a new charity which aims to pool funds for projects in Elmbridge. Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
