Celebrating and Uplifting Black Excellence

Supporting Artists and Teaching Historical Truths

BACE’s core work revolves around supporting Black artists, amplifying their voices, and sharing the often overlooked truths of Black history.

Their programming weaves together arts, culture, knowledge, and solidarity – creating spaces where Black brilliance and liberation shine. This approach fosters community engagement and encourages joy and empowerment through creative expression.

Mission, Vision & Core Values

  • BACE’s mission is to celebrate Brilliance, Liberation, Arts, Culture, Knowledge, and Solidarity.
  • Their vision embraces the diversity of the global Black diaspora. They strive to bring people together – believing that by seeing themselves in each other, communities can unite in solidarity toward collective liberation.
  • Through their work, BACE aims to support artists, teach historical truths, and inspire what they call “courageous joy.” Their commitment is to ensure that Black voices – past, present and future – are uplifted and honored through art, culture, knowledge, and community engagement.

Programs and Community Engagement

BACE runs a variety of programs and projects aligned with their mission and values. These initiatives focus on cultural education, artistic celebration, community building, and historical preservation.

One flagship initiative is their annual cultural festival (the African American Culture & Arts Festival), which brings together artists, performers, vendors, and community members for a day of music, dance, poetry, visual arts, food, and family-friendly activities. The festival is free and open to all – a celebration of heritage, creativity, and community.

The organization also maintains a community center designed to offer educational, cultural, and social support resources. Through this center, they aim to create opportunities for lifelong learning, personal growth, leadership development, social connection, and civic engagement.

Why BACE Matters

In a world where history and culture can be marginalized or forgotten, BACE stands as a dedicated space for remembrance, education, creative expression and empowerment.

Their work reminds communities of the enduring beauty, strength and diversity of Black heritage – not just as history, but as a living, evolving source of joy, solidarity and collective liberation.

For artists, community members, families, and future generations, BACE offers more than occasional events. It offers a foundation – a community anchor where culture, education, creativity and identity are celebrated, preserved and passed forward.

By supporting BACE, whether through attending events, donating, volunteering, or simply sharing, people contribute to a living legacy of respect, pride, art, and community.

Inspiring Communities and Cultivating Joyful Liberation

With programs designed to engage the community, BACE inspires courageous joy and nurtures meaningful connections. Their vision is a world where Black people are celebrated, supported, and empowered to thrive in their artistry and education, contributing to a stronger, more connected society.
