Program Support

Leadership Council

The Brentwood Art Center Leadership Council is both a social group and a donor affiliate council. It is made up of donors who contribute $1,000+ a year to support our scholarship, education, community and veterans art programs. Members enjoy unique opportunities to attend exclusive art events, artist studio visits, and private collection tours.

Veterans Art Program

At Brentwood Art Center, we believe in the transformative power of art. As part of our commitment to serving our community, BAC provides art instruction free of charge at the Westwood and Long Beach Veterans Administrations. In past years, our Veterans exhibited their work in a culminating exhibition at the Geffen Playhouse and at our annual Student and Faculty exhibition.
