Their Beginning:
Founded in 1957 by a group of concerned citizens interested in providing cultural opportunities to their community, the BBAC has grown into a major arts facility in Southeast Michigan. And since 1999, they have raised more than $75,000 for scholarship funds to ensure that BBAC programs are accessible to all.

Hours and Location:
1516 S. Cranbrook, Birmingham MI 48009

Mon-Thu 9-6 | Fri-Sat 9-5 | most Sundays 1-4

Mission Statement: The Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center is a regional non-profit art center committed to promoting the visual arts with classes for all ages and abilities. Each year they offer 500 classes for 4,000 students including year round classes and art camps, as well as a dynamic, growing outreach program. The BBAC campus features nine classroom studios, four galleries with free exhibits open to the public, art camps, special events, and a retail gallery shop.
