Brooklyn Arts Council uses a strategic combination of initiatives to address the needs of Brooklyn artists, cultural organizations, and audiences. BAC’s professional teaching artists provide K-12 students, teachers, parents, seniors, and community members with hands-on, sequential arts classes in a full range of arts disciplines, including dance, digital media, theater, music, visual, and literary arts. Through our residencies, BAC provides and promotes quality arts education programs that: – Foster creativity and imagination – Expand verbal and non-verbal communication skills – Enhance capacities for critical thinking and problem-solving skills – Fortify social-emotional skills BAC Arts in Education performances inspire the imagination in audiences of all ages, share a range of cultures and traditions from around the world, explore a colorful spectrum of performing arts disciplines, and engage audience members in interactive learning experiences. Many of our performances feature artists that share the history and traditions of their native countries or cultures through song, storytelling, and dance. Our professional artists regularly perform in auditoriums for large groups, as well in intimate settings for smaller audiences. Our Arts in Education staff will collaborate with you to develop a customized program that addresses your artistic, academic, and social learning goals while keeping in mind your available resources.
