Hello
The Downtown Art Gallery (DAG) is a member owned and managed gallery governed by a three-person, elected board of directors. The membership is limited to allow each artist a bit of space to exhibit their work. Each December, Brenham Fine Arts League Members that are not currently DAG members are invited to join as space permits. They show their interest in membership by submitting a written request to be added to the waiting list after joining the Brenham Fine Arts League and attending their first monthly meeting. They sign up for committees as required as part of the BFAL membership. Being active in BFAL meetings and other events plays a role in where you are on the waiting list at the end of the year. New DAG members enjoy training to become an active part of this business.
