BAC Studio Artists Program
The most
exciting and critical part of the BAC program for artists are the studio
facilities. The BAC has more than 10 studios each available on a 24
hour basis. Beyond providing an array of equipment, which few single
artists could afford, BAC artists are enriched by the interaction with
their fellow artists, by classes and other programs that are sponsored
by the BAC. Visitors are encouraged to observe BAC artists at work in
their studios - most are open and visible during gallery hours.
Culturally
enriching the community and providing the public with art related
educational opportunities are just two of the benefits that grow out of
our core purpose of encouraging artists by creating the environment were
artists can grow with the space to create, learn, share and exhibit.
The community of BAC artists includes: our studio program artists,
associate members, gift shop artists, open entry exhibition artist
participants, and occasional visting artists and lecturers.
To help studio users develop and grow artistically, the BAC provides:
-
a physical site for the development of their craft;
-
access and practice with equipment and techniques;
-
communication, interaction, and support of other artists;
-
a forum for exposure to the public through openings and gallery shows.
