BHS 25th Annual Winter Art Show
Celebrating the Arts in Queens!
The Bayside Historical Society's Winter Art Show, now in its 25th year, showcases contemporary artists from Queens working in a variety of styles and media. This event features both online galleries on our website and a live exhibit at The Bay Terrace Shopping Center. Join us from Wednesday, February 4, to Sunday March 1, 2026, to experience the creativity and talent of our local artists.

Live Exhibit at Bay Terrace
We have once again been invited by The Bay Terrace Shopping Center to exhibit in their store windows. This part of the show is voluntary. Artists who choose to participate in the live portion of the exhibit will be required to drop off their own works at Bay Terrace. The logistics will be announced by early January. Artists will remove their works from Bay Terrace at the close of the Sunday afternoon reception for all artists.
Bayside Historical Society extends its thanks to Cord Meyer Development Company for its generous support of the 2026 Winter Art Show.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
