The Batesville Area Arts Council (BAAC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting arts in education in the six area schools of Batesville, Indiana. With over 30 years of experience, the BAAC has donated over $1 million directly to student arts programs and funded over $80,000 worth of public art in Batesville and Oldenburg. They strive to provide inclusive and diverse artistic opportunities for the community, fostering a welcoming environment for participation regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or religion.
Through their Arts in Education Program, the BAAC brings professional artists into local schools to integrate the arts into the existing curricula, enriching the educational experiences of students and teachers. Recognized as a model program by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, the BAAC has made a significant impact on the cultural, social, and economic value of Batesville and Oldenburg through public art and community arts programs. They collaborate with local schools, libraries, businesses, civic organizations, and non-profit groups to fund and display art, and are grateful for the community support they receive.
