ABOUT BURLINGTON CITY ARTS
Burlington City Arts (BCA) has served the community as a department of the City of Burlington and as an independent nonprofit for over 35 years. BCA's mission is to nurture a dynamic environment through the arts that makes quality experiences accessible to a wide audience. We do this by offering arts education opportunities; serving as the City's cultural planner; fostering partnerships among the arts, education, human service and business communities; and supporting Vermont artists. Through a wide spectrum of accessible educational opportunities for all ages, thought-provoking exhibitions, community-wide events, and cultural planning activities, BCA works to advance the creation of new art. We support systems that develop the critical thinking skills necessary for creativity to flourish across many sectors and bring people together to celebrate, reflect, and respond to the world. LAST
