23rd Annual (ABCW) Art By Construction Workers

April 25 to June 26, 2022

Introduction

In 2000, a group of us who knew each other from working in the building trades hung our first show at BAX. Some of us had been to art school and others of us were self-taught. Over the years, eight of us have continued to meet for dinner each month, mostly at each other’s homes. We have supported each other in our lives and in our art making.

We always look forward to the morning when we all show up at BAX and get to see what everybody has been up to. This year, unlike the last two, we were able to hang a real live show that will be up and viewable in person until the end of June. BAX is generously providing a virtual version, so no one has to miss it.
