A two-week or four-week residency designed to support the creative process by providing artists with resources to develop ideas, projects, and collaborations. The program offers a pressure-free environment for artists, who are encouraged to focus on their current priorities without the expectation of delivering a finished work. The BAC Open format, which hosts multiple residencies concurrently in BAC’s studio spaces, provides opportunities for artists across disciplines to meet and exchange ideas. BAC Open concludes in a day of voluntary public studio showings.
