Beirut Art Center (BAC) is a non-profit association, space and platform dedicated to contemporary art in Lebanon.<br /> <br /> The aim of the center is to produce, present and promote local and international contemporary art and cultural practice in a structure that is open and active throughout the year. <br /> <br /> An unprecedented initiative in Beirut, the center constitutes a public space that makes art accessible to a large and growing audience of residents and visitors alike, who will be able to engage with rich and diverse range of contemporary art and cultural practice. <br /> <br /> Along with its main exhibition space, BAC includes a screening and performance room, a mediatheque and a bookshop. BAC will also organize regular activities such as lectures, concerts, performances, video projections and workshops.<br /> <br /> The purpose of BAC is to serve as a catalyst for the realization of contemporary art projects and for the interaction of local and international cultural players. In particular, the center supports local and regional contemporary artists, who face great difficulties due to the lack of financial and institutional support in this field. <br /> <br /> The center is located in an industrial zone that visitors can easily access from all over the city. It is an independent, stand-alone building with 1,500 square meters of space divided across two floors, designed by architect Raed Abillama.
