The Beatrice Area Arts Council
The Beatrice Area Arts Council was formed in 1992 and reorganized in late 1998. The building of The Hevelone Center at Beatrice High School brought a need for a group that could organize professional entertainment to be brought into this new state of the art performance facility. During the reorganization of the council, membership grew 500%. With membership fees the council began publishing a quarterly calendar containing the activities of all arts organizations in the area.
The main focus of the group has been to coordinate and co-sponsor art events with the aid of business and cultural organizations in the community and the state. In the first year of reorganization, three concerts were held in the new Hevelone Center. Each performing group held educational sessions with Beatrice area students.
The goal of BAAC is to co-ordinate and gain sponsorship for three to four arts events annually and to support other arts organizations in the area. In 2009 BAAC welcomed the newly organized Beatrice Regional Orchestra as special committee of the council entitled to the benefits our tax exempt status. In 2013 the Beatrice Community Band also joined the arts council as a special committee. We are thrilled to have these two performing groups under our umbrella. We strive to continue to inform our members of upcoming area arts events through the publication of a quarterly calendar and to increase the number of members and volunteers in the organization.
