Who we are
The Bossier Arts Council (BAC) is a community-based organization that is dedicated to supporting and promoting the arts within Bossier Parish in Northern Louisiana. While we may have a range of goals, our primary focus is typically to provide resources and opportunities for local artists and performers to showcase their work, connect with audiences, and build their careers.
To achieve these goals, we undertake a variety of activities, such as hosting or organizing art exhibitions, music concerts, dance performances, and theater productions. These events are typically designed to showcase the talents of local artists and performers, and to provide opportunities for them to network with one another, as well as with audiences and potential buyers or sponsors.
The BAC may also offer various types of support and resources to local artists and performers such as workshops, mentorship programs, or other educational resources to help artists and performers develop their skills and advance their careers.
In addition to these activities, we work to raise awareness of the arts within our Bossier Parish community. This may involve collaborating with other organizations, such as schools, libraries, or community centers, to offer programming that introduces community members to different types of art and encourages them to attend local cultural events.
The Bossier Arts Council was created in 1980 through a joint effort by a local arts organization and the City of Bossier. The BAC continues to partner with other art-focused organizations in providing excellence in the arts for citizens and visitors. Over the years BAC has grown, focusing on expanding arts opportunities in community theatre, visual arts, festivals and exhibits, arts education for children and adults, public arts, and grants opportunities.
