What We Do

We are on a mission to enhance Bath's vibrant arts and events scene, with a collaborative approach that will benefit creatives, venues, residents and visitors alike.

CREATE

We thrive on dreaming up events and festivals bringing local, national and international writers, thinkers, performers to Bath and match making these events to the right space to create that unique experience for our audiences.

We know the buzz you get after a great live event and we want to bring more of that into the city and surrounding areas that we live in.

CONNECT

We will bring together a network of arts organisations, venues and events organisers across BANES to support each other, collaborate together and create a united voice to tackle wider issues, including funding, audience development, burn-out and the role of the arts to encourage creativity amongst children and young people.

We know the power of collaboration and how strong a united voice for the arts and culture scene in Bath could be.

CONsult

BAC will use its considerable experience to consult with organisations in the city looking to produce events/festivals and connect them with other relevant organisations, venues and bodies in the city. It will also consult on ways to broaden their offering to include more people from a wider range of communities.

We know how crucial experience, expertise and connections are when you’re putting on events, small or large.

CONtribute

When Bath Arts Collective brings talent into Bath for the events they produce, they will ask them to make a contribution to the city and community groups that we believe will benefit from this. This could be a simple donation of books to a local state school or they could facilitate a talk or workshop with a school, college/university or a local community group.

We know the impact that arts and events can have on people and want to take that to as many people as possible.
