Baltic Art Center - BAC is one of Sweden's most prominent residencies and has been based on Gotland since 2001. We are an internationally established meeting place in the Baltic Sea region, connecting artists and organisations from all over the world. As an artistic residency, BAC provides artists with the time, space and resources to work individually and collaboratively to develop new ideas and art projects.

BAC is a small and dynamic art institution with offices and guest accommodation in the heart of Visby, a medieval town on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We are a flexible organisation that support the artistic process and tailors our approach to suit specific art projects. We invite artists to use the whole island as an extended studio to explore and connect to different places and local communities.

We work with artists and cultural practitioners to develop, produce and present ground-breaking artistic projects in collaboration with local and international partners who share our commitment to a sustainable society.

BAC collaborates via regional, national and international networks. BAC is, amongst other things, a founding member of the Swedish Artist Residency Network. By promoting cultural exchange and a diversity of artistic practices BAC enriches the cultural landscape of Gotland and positions the island as an arena for international contemporary art.
