Happy World Art Day, and welcome to the first edition of our new monthly newsletter, The Creative Collaborator! We chose this title to emphasize BCAC’s commitment to fostering collaboration among our creative community members and the businesses, schools, leaders, and residents of Brighton.
This year, we intend to change direction, focusing more on bringing people together through the power of ART—music, dance, fine arts, literary arts, theater, and all means of artistic expression. We are actively partnering with others in the community to improve lives and strengthen connections through the arts, and our newsletter will help us spread the word about our many activities, efforts, and events to help us achieve this goal.
Be sure to read the newsletter each month, forward it to your friends, and encourage others to sign up here: https://brightonculturalarts.org/join-our-e-newsletter/
I’m also happy to announce our new mission statement, consistent with our new goals:
BCAC celebrates and promotes the arts and culture of our community, fostering connections through creative expression and collaboration. We provide accessible platforms for local talent, aiming to enrich our shared cultural identity.

Elsewhere in this newsletter, you’ll find an article introducing the members of our new leadership team. We are all devoted to a new era of working together to form connections, foster relationships, and partner with individuals and organizations in the community who share our vision.
If you have ideas for collaborative opportunities in our community, please reach out to any member of our leadership team. You can find our contact info on this page: https://brightonculturalarts.org/contact/
Meanwhile, keep an eye out for some exciting new information about continued changes and developments within BCAC! We’ll be in touch soon!
