Brighton & Hove Arts Council
BHAC was established in 1974 to support and promote the not-for-profit arts community in Sussex. Run entirely by volunteers, the BHAC membership consists of around 90 arts groups as well as over 80 individual supporters, covering all areas of the arts including visual arts, drama, music, spoken and written word.
We support local arts by promoting our member groups, helping them to reach out to a wider audience through its core activities and special projects, and contributing to cultural diversity and the health and wellbeing of the community we serve.
ARTS DIARY
The next issue of the printed Arts Diary (for September to November) will be out soon.
Look out for it from the end of August
Find them at libraries, community centres, information points, bars and cafes all around the area.
Alternatively become an Individual Supporter or a Business Supporter and get it delivered by post
see the SUPPORTERS page for details.
