The Art of Taste Showcase/Competition will take place during our FALL Art Show

Recognizing that art surrounds us and takes many shapes, (and wanting to present area restaurants, caterers, bakeries, and cooks with an opportunity to have their "art" appreciated by potential customers), we're inviting aficionados to enter the BVAA's 1st Annual "Art of Taste" showcase/competition. If you're interested in entering, email info@bvaa.org with your business name, contact, phone, and culinary specialty.

...plus more exciting things to come, even during the summer months.
