SPRING SHOW

The International Art Exhibition is hosted by DEGALLERY, located in historic Bryan, Texas, from February through July 2024.

Bryan is a city and the county seat of Brazos County, Texas, United States. It is in the heart of the Brazos Valley (East and Central Texas). Bryan borders the city of College Station, which lies to its south. Together, they are referred to as the Bryan–College Station metropolitan area, with a population of more than 250,069.

Bryan is rich with atmosphere, commerce, and personal stories. This recognized Texas Cultural District is where history meets community, from antique shops and family-owned restaurants to art galleries and boutiques.

• FRAMING: Work must be framed and wired for hanging. Paintings with deep stretchers may be displayed in professionally made floater frames.
