Founded in 2004, BAU is an artist-run fine art gallery and project space. BAU is a platform for artists to experiment, grow, exhibit, and market their work, encourage collaborative curatorial projects, host invitationals, and build a vital link between the activities at BAU and the community.

We invite you to explore our artists, exhibitions, and events and to stay current with all our programming by signing up and by following us on Instagram.

BAU Gallery is built on five key pillars:

1. Collaborative Curatorial Projects: BAU facilitates collaborative curatorial initiatives, fostering a collective approach to the curation and presentation of artistic works.

2. Diversified Events Hosting: Our platform extends beyond traditional exhibitions to encompass a spectrum of disciplines such as performances, artist talks, film screenings, musical events, and spoken and written word, creating a rich and diverse cultural tapestry.

3. Community Engagement: BAU fosters connections between its activities and the wider community, encouraging community involvement, broadening access to the arts, deepening arts appreciation, and expanding the understanding of art’s ability to engage, inquire, challenge, and delight .

4. Gallery and Community Excellence: By nurturing collaborative efforts between its members and the broader Hudson Valley creative community, BAU aims not only to excel as a gallery but also to fortify itself as a hub of vibrant artistic conversation.

5. Presentation and Marketing: Members and participating nonmembers/guest artists have the opportunity to showcase and promote their artistic endeavors, providing a dynamic space for the exhibition and commercialization of their work.
