this is my business

The mission of the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, a non-profit regional art center, is to enhance the life in our region by promoting the appreciation, understanding and practice of the Arts. Founded in 1957 by a group of concerned citizens interested in providing cultural opportunities to their community, it has grown into a major arts facility in southeastern Michigan.

What a great spot to look for local artist works and see creativity abound with students of all ages taking classes in the adjacent work spaces! The Holiday Gallery is a great time to get presents for family, friends and business clients. Don't forget the Family Fun for the 4th of July - this year it was a western theme with creative art projects for kids that included bandanas, leather tooled cuffs and tons of delicious food. The fireworks were spectacular and a great way to end the evening!

The BBAC shows they care about the community by reaching out to many different groups of artists, even high school kids who need a venue to display their work. The BBAC is dedicated to all artists, including all ages and styles.

If you haven't visited the BBAC, you should put it on your "Must Do" list. Not only will you find a wide variety of exhibits to choose from throughout the year, you will love that you can enjoy the art in a relaxed, non-intimidating, friendly gallery. Be sure to visit the gift shop too. Lots of wonderful and unique items to choose from.

I owe it to BBAC for helping me find my true passion as a sculptor and painter. The teachers are both encouraging and challenging. They can work with beginners as well as seasoned artists.
Becuse of the wonderful way the staff and teachers welcomed me, I decided to join the staff as a member of their esteemed faculty. In just a little under two years, since I started going to BBAC, I've built up enough confidence to enter several juried art shows, won some awards, and even sold a few pieces of my work. There is no question in my mind that BBAC is the very best!

The BBAC has been the best experience I have had in a very long time. The instructor's are awesome! Andrea Tama is amazing. Every instructor that is there have a great love for the arts and are able to flow that love of art over into their students. The galleries are a delight! They work great with people that have disabilities and encourage all to bring out the best in them and the love of art! It is the one place that I am able to go and let go of troubles and stress and to let the inner peace come out through my art work. The students there are wonderful and very friendly. Leslie Master's is another one of the great instructors there...always bringing the best out of the students. Not only are the instructor's great to work with, but the art that they have done and share to help encourage the students is just awesome. There are students that have been going there for a long time and some just starting out to find their art abilities. The work's that they have done are some of the finest pieces of arts in the area. I highly recommend BBAC to all, even if you don't think that you have the talent.....you will find it there.

You don't have to make art to appreciate the BBAC, just going there will do it. The BBAC has classes, workshops, art camps, events and exhibits that can inspire anyone (adult or child) to nurture their inner creative spirit. Exhibits are free and a great way to get fabulous original art at an excellent price point. The gift shop is a WOW for finding original gifts or the perfect piece, including jewelry, for yourself. I go often as things change constantly (plus currently on sale). The BBAC is my second home.
