About Us
Battersea Arts Centre is a Home for the Extraordinary.
We harness the incredible power of art, creativity and collective imagination to create a better future for everyone. A future that is more inclusive, more sustainable and more equitable.
In 2024 we celebrate our 50th anniversary along with the many extraordinary people who help us to inspire positive change for both individuals and their communities.
Our commitment to being A Home for Extraordinary Artists, Young People and Communities is stronger than ever. As part of our 50th year, we are working with ground-breaking artists across the globe to present innovative, exciting and socially engaged work.
Behind the scenes, we continue to deliver our trailblazing programmes for 11-29 year olds, including our Beatbox and Dance Academies, Young Producers programme and The Agency, alongside community projects including our Community Hub and Community Garden. Most shows at BAC are available on a Pay What You Can basis, as part of our ongoing commitment to removing barriers to engagement.
Through all of this work, BAC continuously strives to be an inclusive home where we unlock creativity, drive social benefit, build communities, and support resilience and wellbeing.
As a registered charity (282857), BAC needs to raise funds from individuals, corporates and trusts & foundations who help make this work happen. Join us in supporting BAC in 2024 so that together, we can thrive for the next 50 years
