Who We Are And What We Do
We began life in 2007 as the Benson Arts Commission. To take a broader role in the arts community by expanding beyond Benson city limits, the San Pedro River Arts Council was established in the fall of 2009, and incorporated in Arizona as a nonprofit.

Benson Campus of Cochise College Marketing team is coming to the Center on Oct. 2 in the morning to shoot a video of the Benson Center in action.
They will have media releases for anyone that is here that day while they are filming no one will need to talk or anything. It is more of a showcase of what we do so it works perfectly that the photo show will be up and being judged critique will be at 2:00 p.m. If anyone wants to be on camera in your group they are welcome to be at the college between 10:30 and 11:00 am

We will be checking out currently hanging pieces and receiving new art on Saturday, September
21 st from 9 a.m. till 1 p.m. Come in at your convenience during those hours.)
(If you are unable to make it on the 21st, contact Mary Lee (bears4588@yahoo.com) and she
will set up an appointment for you).
If you currently have work on the walls in Endeavor--you must collect it during change-out.
And hopefully, you will be bringing in new pieces to replace it! If you have not exhibited with us
before--every SPRAC member is welcome and encouraged to participate! Please note that we
will be going back to charging a one time “$25 exhibitor’s fee” for hanging your work in this
installation. Sales have been good throughout the gallery and gift shop in recent months, and we
feel the “exhibitor’s fee is warranted—especially as our exhibitors are not expected to serve as
docents in the Gallery unless they wish to do so. (Please note that docents and volunteers do
NOT pay any exhibitor’s fee, as that is their one “perk” for service!) Dues must also be current.
(We will have a record of who is current and who is in arrears when you bring in your work if
you are uncertain...)
Buy your raffle tickets for the Photography Show. This year we are raffling two metal bistro chairs. One is by Doug Quarels and the other by Gay Spivey.
Tickets are $ 5 each or 5 for $20.

What is "Original Art"
· At its essence, original artwork is the art that is produced by an artist’s hand. This definition excludes mechanical or digital copies, prints, and other reproductions. However, fraudulent copies can also be recreated by hand, so an original must be produced by hand by the original, authentic artist.
