BAC is a home for radical artistic ideas. We believe in the power of performance and collective imagination to spark positive change. We host welcoming and inclusive spaces where communities, artists and audiences can connect, collaborate and be creative. We give people the resources to develop artistic ideas and creative practices that are bold and unconventional. We share and amplify ground-breaking performance and programmes, locally, nationally and internationally.

We welcome over 120,000 people through our doors each year and in 2021 that number increased significantly as we became an NHS Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Centre for our borough in South London.
