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 a strong creative sector is a vital component to a healthy, thriving city. Through connection and conversation, our BAC Members directly support programs that serve and propel Austin’s iconic cultural arts.
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.
