Beverly Arts Center News
Update from the BAC Board
The Beverly Arts Center (BAC) is operating under these same pressures. The board of the BAC has made the difficult but necessary decision to reduce expenses for its live theater offerings in favor of a renewed focus on community and cultural engagement through a broad range of art forms. In doing so, the BAC will remain a vibrant, ongoing concern for the long term and will honor its mission to be a multifaceted, diverse, inclusive space for all on Chicago’s culturally rich South Side.
