What BACAS is all about...
The Bucksport Area Cultural Arts Society was formed in the spring of 1999, following in the footsteps of a Cultural Arts Auditorium Study Committee. This committee worked diligently together for 18 months pursuing all facets of enriching our community by bringing the reality of a performing arts center into being. Ensuring the continued viability of such a project was also of importance to this seminal group, and remains at the core of our function.
"The mission of The Bucksport Area Cultural Arts Society is to stimulate the arts within the community and schools, provide a suitable space for the performing arts which is also audience friendly, provide work and display areas that enable a strong community and academic arts program, and promote life-long learning experiences for the citizens of Bucksport."
What we have done lately...
Helped sponsor the recent trip to New York City for many of our school band members.
Helped sponsor "Macbeth" at the Bucksport Performing Arts Center.
Helped bring Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Gondoliers" to The Center.
Later this month, we are featuring "Your Keys to Fashion".
This summer, we are bringing "The Sound of Music" to The Center.
Our organization, and the fulfillment of its mission, is 100% dependent upon public and private support through contributions, box office receipts, concessions, raffles, and special initiatives. Please visit our "current projects" and "membership information" pages for more details on how you (or your organization) can help us improve and sustain the enjoyment, awareness, and advancement of the cultural arts within the large geographical area we serve.
Thank you to all who have supported us so enthusiastically since we started our journey!
