The BAC strives not only to entertain and educate the public, but also to increase opportunities for artists to gain recognition. Annual Juried Art and Photography exhibitions bring together the work of many regional artists, from the experienced and respected to the new and promising.
The BAC also provides a platform for the community's youngest artists by partnering with area schools to sponsor exhibits of work by students from kindergarten through high school
