BACAA is a public archive: a receptacle, preservation society and venue for the ephemera of Bay Area contemporary artists, venues and related projects. BACAA has been collecting and digitizing postcards, press releases, posters, zines, and more, while creating an online venue to preserve and share the work of our local art scene. Artists, curators, administrators, publishers and collectors are encouraged to enter information and photos of their ephemera via the website, in addition to sending physical pieces to BACAA HQ to preserve and share, to populate the archive.

If you don’t archive your own legacy, who will? It’s important for all of us to be sure the work of marginalized artists are archived. What can we share with future generations about the state of the arts, politics and culture in the Bay Area and beyond?
