BHS 24th Annual Winter Art Show
Celebrating the Arts in Queens!
Bayside Historical Society's annual Winter Art Show, showcasing contemporary Queens-based artists working in a variety of styles and mediums, is now OPEN!
This year, more than 50 local artists have submitted photos of their work to be exhibited in virtual galleries on the BHS website. We also invite you to visit the Student Art Galleries to see the emerging talent of 20 Bayside High School artists. We congratulate these young artists and thank them for participating in our show.
The Winter Art Show will run until Sunday, March 2, 2025.

Art Show Commentary
Once again, we are pleased to hold the BHS Annual Winter Art Show in virtual galleries on our website and in person at The Bay Terrace Shopping Center. The works have been judged this year by Neill Slaughter, Professor Emeritus, Fine Arts at Long Island University and Bob Mueller, artist and former chief curator and board member of the Salmagundi Club.
As in previous years the works are in various categories, each of which received one award and several honorable mentions. They are Painting, Drawing, Watercolor, 3-D/Sculpture, Mixed Media, Printmaking, Collage, and Photography.
We are grateful to our judges for the care and attention they have devoted to evaluating the work of the 52 local artists and 20 student artists in this year's show.
