Set For Sixty

It’s official - we're now midway through our 60th Anniversary year! Please consider a special donation to our Set for Sixty campaign, meant to set us up for the NEXT 60 years.

We can't know what the next 60 years will bring, but we DO know that artists from historically marginalized communities will always need resources, connections, and advocates. That’s why it’s so important for BCA to be here - not for ourselves, but for them. With your help, we can make that promise.

Give Now!

Quick Note from BCA: A new year ushers in new things. We are making adjustments in the frequency of our bi-weekly e-blast communications. No need to worry, you will still continue to hear from us on the latest programming, news, and opportunities every month.
