Celebrate 40 years by investing in our future.

Paving the Path to a Creative Legacy

— Keep the Arts Alive —
Today, Tomorrow, Always

Your gift paves the way.

Brick by brick, art endures.

For 40 years, the Berea Arts Council has been a home for creativity, connection, and community.

To secure that future, we are building a permanent endowment.

How It Works

Those that donate at least $1,000 will have their name becomes a brick in Bob Burger’s watercolor mural— paving a path for artists, audiences, and future generations.

Together, these bricks form a path that represents the many hands and hearts sustaining Berea’s creative life.

Your brick is more than recognition— it’s a step toward keeping exhibitions, performances, and cultural programs alive while building our vibrant community.

A Lasting Impact

Your gift is invested in the BAC Endowment at the Blue Grass Community Foundation. The principal remains untouched; only the earnings support our programs.

Together, we’ll help create resilience, stability, and creativity in Berea—for today, tomorrow, and always.

How You Can Give

Endowment Details

All donations to the Berea Arts Council Endowment are managed through the Blue Grass Community Foundation (BGCF). When you give through BGCF, your gift is placed into a permanent charitable fund created specifically for BAC. The principal of your gift is invested, and only the earnings are used to support our programs—ensuring your generosity provides lasting impact year after year.

This structure guarantees professional financial management, transparency, and accountability while giving you access to benefits like the Endow Kentucky Tax Credit.
