Beirut Art Center (BAC) is an art institution dedicated to promoting art and cultural practices, learning initiatives, and community engagement in Lebanon and beyond. Since 2019, Lebanon has faced a deepening financial crisis compounded by the pandemic and the devastating Beirut Port explosion. In response, BAC has developed comprehensive learning and community outreach programs to address the urgent need for artistic and learning opportunities in the country.

The aim of BAC is to produce, present and contextualize local and international art researches and cultural practices in a space that is open and active all year long, and not requiring any entrance fees.

BAC seeks engagement with various art forms and experiences and alternative methods of knowledge production and distribution. We support local and regional contemporary artists and facilitate the creation and realization of projects as well as interaction among local and international cultural players.
