In tandem with its commitment to supporting artists, bac is dedicated to building audiences for the arts by presenting contemporary, innovative work at affordable ticket prices. In 2010 bac opened the Jerome Robbins Theater, which serves as an organic extension of the existing center, featuring multidisciplinary work, emerging talent, and international artists, and including artist-centered activity that fosters creative exploration.
