The Bailey Learning and Arts Collective (BLAAC) is a community education and outreach organization. Our mission is to help build knowledgeable, self-sustainable, socially responsible communities and leaders through community outreach, education and partnerships, social entrepreneurial opportunities, and artistic expression and instruction. One of our goals to promote cultural, visual, literary and folk art education through conferences, workshops, festivals, classes and individual artist promotions (exhibits, book signings, spoken word events).
