Welcome to the BAC

Dear Valued BAC Patrons:As we navigate this challenging time together, it is the goal of the Beverly Arts Center to keep our patrons and students as safe as possible. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Shelter in Place order of our Governor, the Beverly Arts Center has adapted its School of Fine Arts and Outreach programming to online platforms ensuring that students continue to receive the highest quality arts-enrichment program-ming in the safety of their homes.

Our summer session programming will begin on June 8, 2020 online using Zoom. Should the Governor lift some of the restrictions that are keeping our building closed, we will switch to in-person classes. However, every class offered will still be broadcast via Zoom for parents and students who may be hesitant to take in-person classes.

The BAC team will follow strict sanitation, social-distancing, and personal protection equipment policies set by our local and state authorities. We will make these steps transparent to our community as we continue to reinvent how to entertain the general public in a way that keeps our customers and our staff healthy and happy.

The Arts heal; during these uncertain times, a song, a dance, a painting, or a moment of laughter can bring the solace we all need to recover and grow as a society. Please consider making a donation to the Beverly Arts Center at www.beverlyartcenter.org to keep programming and entertainment opportunities supported and safe, while we wait for our new normal to begin.

If there is a way that we can help, please feel free to reach out to me at carly@beverlyartcenter.org.

Yours in the Arts,

Carly BishopInterim Director of Education

These workshops are tailored to students’ experience to help them develop their director’s eye, editor’s touch, or screenwriter’s vision.
