The BACC was founded to nurture artists, promote their work, and connect them with opportunities, the public, and cultural institutions. A key achievement has been providing a dedicated space for artists of color to showcase, promote, and sell their work. Currently, we exhibit up to four artists per month, allowing 48 artists each year to share their creations with the community. Exhibiting artists are encouraged to attend the opening night reception, fostering direct connections and meaningful conversations with attendees in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere.
