The Brighton Cultural Arts Commission (BCAC), a charitable 501(c)3 organization, promotes and supports local fine artists, students, musicians, performers, craftspeople, poets, authors, cultural groups, and other creatives in and around the Brighton area.
At BCAC, we believe that art should be a shared community experience, accessible to all. We recognize the transformative power of art, in all its forms, and encourage creativity, diversity, and a sense of pride in Brighton’s cultural and historic identity.
What We Do
We host events to enhance awareness of local arts and culture; we acquire and display public art pieces, such as sculptures and murals, to help foster a sense of community pride; and we recognize outstanding local artists, performers, volunteers, educators, and other community leaders and contributors to the local arts and culture community.
