The BACA Collective was founded by a group Atlantic Technological University graduates who share a commitment to exploration, discovery, and artistic expression.

Originating within the BA in Contemporary Art program, the collective continues to evolve, engaging in a dynamic investigation of contemporary art and its ever-changing dialogues. The artists within the
collective have been recognized with a vast range of opportunities and awards, including residencies, funding awards, and participation in notable group and solo exhibitions and have exhibited in several galleries including 126 Art Gallery, ATU Galway Campus, Outset Gallery, Reynolds Gallery, Portershed and more.

Through this collective effort, they present a synthesis of developed and original ideas, reflecting the richness of artistic inquiry and shared expression.
