Showcase
Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC), an arts and services organization founded in 1966, is the umbrella for Brooklyn’s range of cultural groups and individual artists working in the visual, performing, media, and literary arts. BAC helps Brooklyn’s artist population–from the experimental to those preserving and evolving traditions of cultural heritage–create and present their work. BAC ensures that thousands of people throughout Brooklyn have access to a variety of free arts programming each year. Our programs are essential to the livelihoods of thousands of artists, creative professionals, and arts organizations across the borough.
BAC takes a leadership role in creating an environment conducive to the arts by providing grants, resources, referrals, networking opportunities, seminars, performances, screenings, exhibitions, and other activities that support and encourage the arts. These efforts ensure that Brooklyn’s ever-expanding cultural community remains a strong and vital part of the borough’s social and economic fabric.
BAC’s programs and support services include the Community Arts Regrant Program, Professional Development Seminars for the Arts, Arts in Education, BAC Folk Arts, the Printmaker’s Portfolio Project, the BAC International Film and Video Festival, and BAC Gallery. BAC also offers technical assistance to individual artists and organizations.
