Free Education Programs: BAC offers many free art education events each year. You can meet artists in the Gallery talking about their work, or demonstrating their materials and techniques. We’ve had special guest lecturers speak on topics as varied as studio glass, Japanese American furniture design, and the history of the Museum of Modern Art. We also offer an occasional 15-minute art history discussion in the gallery.

BAC Workshops: Want to learn how to draw a boat? How to create woven wire sculpture? How to make your own kite? How to use that new digital camera? BAC offers affordable workshops throughout the year, taught by our local artists or by guest instructors from across the country.
