Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

THE MISSION OF THE CENTER IS TO FOSTER AN INTEREST IN THE ARTS; TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMERS, CHOREOGRAPHERS, DIRECTORS, WRITERS, COMPOSERS, AND DESIGNERS; AND TO ADVANCE THEIR COLLABORATION. IN 2005, THE ORGANIZATION OPENED THE BARYSHNIKOV ARTS CENTER AT 450 WEST 37TH STREET IN NEW YORK CITY. THE CENTER SERVES AS A CREATIVE LABORATORY, MEETING PLACE AND PERFORMING SPACE FOR ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE PRESENTATION OF PERFORMANCE WORKS, ARTIST RESIDENCIES, A SUBSIDIZED RENTAL PROGRAM AND AN EDUCATION PROGRAM.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE CENTER WAS ESTABLISHED TO FOSTER AN INTEREST IN THE ARTS, ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTISTS, AND ADVANCE THE ARTISTIC COLLABORATION.

  • BAC PRESENTS: BAC PRESENTS IS BARYSHNIKOV ARTS CENTER'S PUBLIC PERFORMANCE SERIES, FEATURING A DIVERSE RANGE OF ARTISTS WORKING ACROSS DANCE, THEATER, MUSIC, AND MULTIMEDIA. THE SERIES FEATURES BOTH EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED ARTISTS AND INCLUDES WORKS DEVELOPED DURING RESIDENCIES ALONGSIDE PROJECTS CREATED INDEPENDENTLY. PERFORMANCES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, WITH AN AVERAGE TICKET PRICE OF 35. BAC RESIDENCIES: BAC RESIDENCIES PROVIDE ARTISTS WITH THE TIME, SPACE, AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO DEVELOP NEW WORK. ARTISTS RECEIVE MULTI-WEEK RESIDENCIES THAT INCLUDE STUDIO SPACE, STIPENDS, AND TECHNICAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND MARKETING SUPPORT. WHILE SOME ARTISTS CHOOSE TO SHARE WORKS-IN-PROGRESS, THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO PRESENT PUBLICLY. BAC SUPPORTS UP TO 20 RESIDENCIES ANNUALLY, SERVING ARTISTS AT ALL STAGES OF THEIR CAREERS AND ACROSS DISCIPLINES. RESIDENCIES FOCUS ON ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIMENTATION, WITH SOME PROJECTS CONTINUING ON TO PUBLIC PRESENTATION AT BAC OR ELSEWHERE. BAC EDUCATION: BAC EDUCATION OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS TO ENGAGE WITH THE CREATIVE PROCESS THROUGH CAMPS, WORKSHOPS, AND ARTIST-LED TALKS, FOSTERING DEEPER CONNECTIONS TO THE WORK DEVELOPED AND PRESENTED AT BAC. BAC RENTALS: BAC PROVIDES SUBSIDIZED AND MARKET-RATE RENTAL ACCESS TO ITS STUDIOS AND PERFORMANCE SPACES FOR REHEARSALS AND CREATIVE WORK. ARTISTS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH BUDGETS UNDER 500,000 ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED RATES, INCLUDING ACCESS TO HIGHLY SUBSIDIZED REHEARSAL SPACE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
