Bay Area Creative (BAC) is an organization in the process of incorporating into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit member supported organization. Our goal is to be a fully functional nonprofit by August 2019. BAC works towards creating a world where cultural sensitivity, social justice and emotional balance promote well rounded healthy people who can lead the way to a society that is thriving with diversity, supported by community and fulfilled in the creative acts of individuals. We do this by employing the art form of spoken word poetry to provide insightfully innovative writing and filmmaking residencies for students, team building workshops for companies, professional development for teachers, and art therapy for community health.
