The Bridgeport Artist Community (BPAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit born from the belief that art thrives in community — and that Bridgeport's rich, diverse neighborhood deserves a dedicated creative infrastructure.

Founded in 2024 by artists Keith Brown and Lynn Rue, BPAC organizes the Third Friday Art Walk across 45 venues, produces curated group exhibitions, publishes exhibition catalogues, and builds lasting connections between artists, venues, and the broader Chicago arts scene.
