Business Arts Council
What is the Business Arts Council?
The Long Center’s Business Arts Council (BAC) is a collection of Austin businesses who believe that arts, culture, and creativity are vital elements of a healthy, thriving Austin. Through connection, contribution, and conversations, BAC members directly support programs to keep Austin’s iconic arts and culture accessible and exciting for the entire community.
Be Part of Something Bigger
The Business Arts Council opens up a world of possibilities, from entertaining to giving back, all right here in the heart of ATX. Here’s how.
Creative Economy Insiders
BAC Members are the first to hear about what’s next for Austin’s creative & cultural activities, which means they’re also the first to lend a supporting hand.
Austin Supports Austin
Through networking, conversation, and strengthened community connections, the BAC is just one way the Long Center is working towards the creation of a shared cultural experience for ALL of Austin.
Leading the Way
A great group for young professionals, we introduce the next generation of corporate philanthropists to the importance of creative cultivation and what can happen when business supports art.
VIP Access & Employee Engagement
Entertain clients and partners or connect your employees with BAC perks, including unique experiences that also support the artists that put Austin on the map.

Your Membership at Work
Elevating Diverse Voices
BAC Memberships allow the Long Center to represent and present Central Texas’ unique range of voices. From hiring emerging BIPOC artists to subsidizing rentals for local organizations, we can ensure that under-represented voices shape our culture.
Expanding Arts Access
A portion of BAC Memberships support Long Reach for the Arts, the Long Center’s program that is expanding arts access by innovating how K-12 students engage with and experience arts, all for free.
Free Music All Summer
Be part of Austin’s favorite tradition of free outdoor concerts at The Drop-In. Enjoy a favorite performer or discover something completely new at the Long Center’s 3D-printed pavilion.
