Thank you to all of the artists and craftspeople who have answered our call.

Because of your generosity.......Bpositiv6 has received an incredible amount of original art and our room is already near capacity. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions regarding the show or regarding the donating process.

Bpositiv 6 would like to thank the Poet House artists for their generosity and talent.

Thank you to the incredible Chuck Chamberlain for lending his prodigious skill to our show.

This award winning artist is known throughout the United States and particularly throughout his native New England. Bend, Oregon is where you will find him today. His museum quality pieces will be prominently featured at this year's show.

We are thrilled to have an original canvas donated to us this year by Bend artist Mike Toth!

The artist has graciously donated his painting directly to the Bpositiv Foundation....and we are so very grateful for his support. Collectors clamor for his original pieces and he has a devoted following anxious to snap up his work.

Bpositiv6 is lucky to feature this amazing Bend area artist. Will you be the lucky winner???

In her first year at Bpositiv is new Redmond resident M. Murray Dix, an award winning artist formerly of Marin, near San Francisco. Our area is made brighter by her arrival and her donated piece will simply amaze fine art enthusiasts. She has featured in many shows across the West and particularly in the Bay area. We are certain you will appreciate her gift.

Join these artists.....and so many more. We have already registered more than 25 artists.

This year's show will feature original works of art in paint, photography,textile, glass, metal, wood, fine silver, exotic beadwork, ceramics, origami and more.

We hope to see you at Bpositiv6 1/30/10 www.Bpositiv.org
