At BACAS, we cultivate meaningful connections between artists and scholars at every stage of their careers—established,
mid-career, and emerging—while expanding the dialogue between southern Italy and the world.
Through residencies, fellowships, exhibitions, workshops, and symposia, we foster interdisciplinary exchange,
believing that the contributions of distinguished artists and scholars can inspire and elevate those still gaining recognition.

Immersed in the historic hilltop towns of our stunning valley, rich in cultural heritage and natural beauty,
participants find the time and space to work in solitude or collaboration, free from distraction.
BACAS is a place where creativity and scholarship thrive, generating lasting works of imagination and insight.
