The Gallery

Free Education Programs: BAC offers many free art education events each year. You can meet artists in the Gallery talking about their work, or demonstrating their materials and techniques. We’ve had special guest lecturers speak on topics as varied as studio glass, Japanese American furniture design, and the history of the Museum of Modern Art. We also offer an occasional 15-minute art history discussion in the gallery.

Recently, TACBAC students, including Lizzie Bonghi, met with Elizabeth Moga to talk about watercolors and watch the artist at work.
