We must raise $105,000 before Thanksgiving.

Your donation will sustain essential operations, protect our strongest programs, and help activate a $35,000 planning grant we have secured to shape BAC’s future.

We have already made significant cuts and are focusing our resources where they can have the greatest impact. Fall short, and the cuts reach popular programs that serve our community.

Why BAC Matters

For 35 years, our little yellow building off of Route 183 has done some pretty big things.

Children discover art here. Adults find — or rediscover — their creativity. Artists teach and work here. And from our Stockbridge home, BAC brings art education programs into schools and communities throughout the Berkshires.

And all that creativity matters. Research shows that even 45 minutes of making art can significantly lower cortisol levels, helping reduce stress. In a world that can feel topsy-turvy, places where people can create, connect, and simply feel a little better matter more than ever.

As a nonprofit, program fees cover only part of what it takes to make this possible. We depend on charitable support to sustain our people, programs, studios, and community work.

Whether or not you’ve ever taken a class here, BAC belongs to this community. Right now, we need our community to stand with us.

Please give today. Help us raise $105,000 before Thanksgiving and keep creativity thriving.
