Since then, the BPSA has gathered under its umbrella organization other arts groups so that all can share in the costs and business of making art available to the public. The BPSA meets each month on the third Wednesday in Lion’s Head, where the program includes a variety of subjects such as talks on various media, films about art and artists, demonstrations of various art techniques, life drawing, guest artists and other activities.
