a 501c3 non-profit in Utah, born in January 2017, co-founded and led by Carla Locatelli and Jessica Hunt.
BAC's mission is to spread Brazilian Arts, strengthen cultural diversity in Utah and implement arts as a social tool to empower individuals and unite communities.
We have three programs under the BAC umbrella: Language, Culinary Arts & Dance/Music Traditions.
We hold classes and cultural events that are accessible, inclusive, safe and true to Brazilian culture. When you attend a BAC event, you will feel like you just spent a day in Brazil!
