BaCA serves as a welcoming and inclusive space where diverse art forms, creative practices, and modes of inquiry are accepted, nurtured, and celebrated. The AiR Program cultivates a dynamic setting that invites the public to engage with artists, observe the creative process, and experience new work, attracting both local residents and visitors.
