Bedford Creative Arts

Bedford Creative Arts (BCA) is an arts charity that produces art for, with, and inspired by communities in Bedfordshire. We work across all artforms to deliver art projects that support place-making, place-shaping and enriching by helping communities to have a sense of identity, belonging, agency and pride in where they live. We are a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England and have been working in Bedford for over 30 years.
