Have your Special Event at The BAC
Choose from a variety of spaces in 2 Unique Locations!
The BAC is one of Manitou's most celebrated artistic institutions nestled at the base of Pikes Peak. If you've been to the campus, chances are that you've been to an incredible art opening or unforgettable performance event, but did you know that we can also throw one heck of a party?!
Pass it along - the BAC is a distinctive venue for both private and community events. Such private events are corporate holiday parties, wedding receptions, birthday parties, family reunions, business meetings, anniversary's and much more! Community events held in the space in the past have ranged from non-profit fundraising events, concerts, theater performances, films, and community wide Halloween party's. With a creative staff and room for up to 234 guests, there are not many events the BAC can't handle!
Studio 513
The original building at 513 Manitou Avenue opened in 1988 and is home to nine professionally equipped art studios, three exhibition spaces, a gift gallery, a kiln yard, and sculpture garden. Generally, events in Studio 513 include art receptions and openings, creative team building workshops, and tours.
The Hagnauer Gallery, our largest gallery space within studio 513 can accommodate up to 85 people for a more intimate reception, wedding ceremony, dinner party, or concert. This space is unique because of the beautiful artwork hung on the walls and the large windows that let in the natural light as well as give guests beautiful views of Manitou's historic Memorial Park.

An artistic atmosphere, exceptional facilities, and professional event staff will make planning and hosting your event at the BAC a distinctive experience.
The largest room in the building, Spencer Hall, is a 2500 sq. ft. central hall that can accommodate 232 persons. Just across from memorial park. Several hotels and bed and breakfasts within few blocks. Local restaurants within walking distance.
The BAC presently uses Spencer Hall to present art exhibitions, Improv Colorado shows, Independent Film Society First Tuesday Movies, and live music in collaboration with KRCC, A Music company, and many local and talented musicians.
