Our 2024 BAC Fellowship

BAC Fellowship is a nine month program dedicated to supporting emerging artists whose art, life, and histories are woven between the US/Mexico border. Artists are immersed in a process where they learn about the lands they currently inhabit, visiting the threads of history, migration, social justice, and politics through the perspective of border identity. The program focuses on inspiring the local border communities to tell their own stories. Artists will move through this process of investigation, artmaking, and documentation with fellow artists and mentors who will serve as thought partners, critics, and support in preparation for a public exhibition.
