The Brookline Arts Center (BAC) began as a small parent cooperative for children’s art classes in the basement of Mim and Barney Berliner’s Brookline home. It was administered by volunteers and taught by a professional artist. Since 1968, the BAC has been a nonprofit educational charitable institution, 501(c)3, serving as a community center for the visual arts for Brookline and Greater Boston.
