Border Arts Corridor

BAC Fellowship

The BAC Fellowship focuses on 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 stories.

Border Arts Corridor is a community-centered non-profit. We see the border between Douglas, Arizona, and Agua Prieta, SON, as an opportunity to create art that transcends boundaries and unites communities. We work to drive forward social justice policies, public art, and local artists who shine a light on the communities in which they live.
