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, studios provide:
" 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.
To help artists develop as business people, the studios provide:
" educational programs on marketing, production, and distribution;
" phones and other office equipment;
" a mailing address, conference and meeting space for artist;
" a resource library for arts information;
" a forum for interaction with successful artists, graduates of the BAC, and other associates of the BAC in the arts business;
" access to potential customers through special shows and gallery exhibits.
