The Rotating Art Program connects artists with the community through a network of revolving art exhibits. Local establishments, such as libraries, banks and offices, serve as sponsors by providing a venue for the exhibits. Sponsors choose artists to exhibit in their space at the Artist Showcase every January.

Bacca is planning its rotating art program for 2008 and is seeking artists and business sponsors interested in developing partnerships throughout the year. The program is designed to provide places of business with different art work for display every 2 months. Bacca artists bring and hang their work at the business site on the first day of the month and retrieve it the last day of the second month. Businesses are able to have 6 different exhibits in their offices during the year. Artists are able to display their work at a new venue every other month. This program has been popular for many years with artists, businesses, libraries, government offices and colleges. Community members often commend the program siting their enjoyment of the artwork when visiting the various participating establishments. An art showcase will take place on Tuesday, January 8th at the Babylon Town Hall Annex Cafeteria in North Babylon. This is the time when artists display samples of their work. Businesses select the artists whose work they would like exhibited in their offices. Please contact bacca at 631-587-3696 if you are interested in obtaining art for your business space or are an artist who would like the opportunity to exhibit in local offices.
