The Bismarck Art & Galleries Association (BAGA) is thrilled to present its 14th Annual Square Foot Exhibit, a much-anticipated exhibition that brings together over 100 original works of art by more than 75 artists from across the region and the United States.

Each piece in the exhibit measures exactly 12″ x 12″ and is priced at $160, offering art lovers a unique opportunity to collect affordable, original artwork. BAGA provided artists with uniform canvases to ensure consistency in size and depth, while allowing full creative freedom in style, medium, and subject matter. The result is a vibrant and diverse collection that showcases an exciting range of talent and expression—from emerging voices to established artists.

Visitors to the gallery will experience an eclectic mix of painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, and more, reflecting the wide range of skills and inspirations of the participating artists.

Also on view during the month of May is a special feature by BAGA member artist Molly McLain, a Bismarck-based mixed media, mosaic, and folk artist. Deeply influenced by North Dakota’s prairie landscape and her Scandinavian heritage, McLain’s work is a celebration of regional flora and fauna, rich with texture and storytelling.

The Square Foot Exhibit opens to the public on Tuesday, May 6, with a reception from 5 to 7 PM, providing a perfect opportunity to meet some of the artists and enjoy an evening of art and community. The exhibit will remain on display through Wednesday, May 30.

BAGA is located at 422 E Front Avenue, Bismarck, ND. Admission is free and open to all.

Whether you’re an avid collector, a first-time buyer, or simply looking for creative inspiration, this annual event offers something for everyone.
