Bailey Contemporary Arts

What a cool place and I never knew it was here. I had stopped in to the new Pompano Cultural Center to have a look around and the cultural director Pamela told me about this place across the street. Since my daughter is an artist I was intrigued and we headed over to check it out.

BaCA as this place is also known has a first floor gallery and on the second floor there are different rooms that the artists rent as studio space and you can go and watch them work. No one was in in residence on our visit but my daughter loved seeing their spaces and the works in progress. Although her work is more digital than fine arts at present I know she would love to have her own space in this beautiful building. There is even a cute coffee house located next door.

On the first of every month they hold Old Town Untapped from 6-9. It's a craft brew and arts festival. Outside of BaCA they have craft brew samples from Odd Breed Ales located across the street, art, and food trucks. Other events that are scheduled can be found listed in a pamphlet that you can get from the Cultural Arts Center across the street. I love that Pompano is moving in the direction of having more arts. The director of arts told me that there are actually four venues for the arts in Pompano now as well as a newly created cultural arts council. I look forward to seeing what they present and attending great art events in Pompano in the future.
