About this place
What to expect
Bankstown Arts Centre (BAC) is a vibrant contemporary multi-arts organisation that advocates for diverse and accessible art with a strong focus on Canterbury-Bankstown, Western Sydney, First Nations and CALD artists. Centred on the twin pillars of social practice and placemaking, BAC develops and presents engaging multi-platform art experiences and stories that are local, global and interconnected. Core to the artistic vision is an innovative transdisciplinary, transcultural and transmedial curatorial framework. The creative programming is anchored in visual arts with hybrid elements. It will extend to include curated presentations of music, dance and literary events and intersect art with design, science and technology. Resident organisations at Bankstown Arts Centre include Urban Theatre Projects (Utp), Outloud, Bankstown Art Society, Bankstown and District Lapidary Club Inc. and Bankstown Theatre Company.
