Every year, The Bay School publishes two class catalogs covering the class schedules for June-December and January-May. These catalogs are available in the Art Speaks Gallery, mailed to approximately 3,000 individuals with a PDF version emailed to another 2,500. Recipients live primarily in the Mathews/Gloucester area and Middle Peninsula region; however, interested parties request our catalog throughout Virginia and the United States. Additionally, a downloadable PDF of the catalog is available on our website, and we distribute the publication at local and regional libraries and visitor centers.

We also publish a program to promote our Annual Arts Speaks Juried Exhibition. The program is a keepsake of the exhibit, illustrating and describing the diverse work of each year’s selected artists, all residents of Virginia. In addition to being available in the Art Speaks Gallery, other local galleries, and the Mathews Visitor Center, the program is mailed to approximately 650 individuals and galleries statewide in advance of the exhibition, and a downloadable PDF of the program is available on our website.

We invite you to consider advertising in one or all of the described publications to
support the Bay School Community Arts Center and Art Speaks Gallery. Sponsors of our 2025 monthly exhibitions or special events receive 10% off of any advertising purchased during the calendar year.
