Cultural Heritage
Our Cultural Heritage program works with traditional artists, and the communities which recognize them, to preserve and present arts expressive of the borough’s diverse living heritage—folk song, storytelling, social dance, foodways, material culture, and more.
Cultural Heritage Advisory Group
The Cultural Heritage Advisory Group (CHAG) at BAC is a monthly gathering of cultural heritage practitioners and creatives dedicated to discussing the preservation, promotion, and practice of traditional arts in Brooklyn. CHAG members bring their artistic expertise, insights, and perspectives, contributing to the preservation of Brooklyn's rich cultural heritage while helping shape future programs with a focus on diversity and inclusivity.
Past Projects
