Brookings Arts Council
The Brookings Arts Council (BAC) is where history meets creativity! Originally the Carnegie Library and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, their mission is all about fostering community connections through the arts.
For over 40 years, they’ve been dedicated to entertaining, educating, and supporting artists. The Annual Juried Art and Photography exhibitions showcase regional talent, while partnerships with local schools give young artists a chance to shine.
Since taking over the historic building in 1976, BAC has been making art happen. Thanks to major renovations in 2017, including a new roof and ADA accessible features, they can inspire creativity for generations to come. With support from the City of Brookings, Historic Preservation Committee, and generous donors, they’re proud to continue their legacy in the 21st century.
