Shared Interest Groups

Do you prefer a more informal learning experience?  Share experiences, tips, and practices in such diverse areas as artwork critique, photography, creative writing, and costume model drawing.
All groups are facilitated by a BAC member volunteer and meetings are free for BAC members.  Guests are warmly welcomed for any two meetings but after that a membership is required.
If you have an idea for a new group, please contact us or call (732) 749-3360.
Photography Group
The BAC Photography Group is a casual, friendly group, welcoming photographers of all skill levels, to share their photos and knowledge.  The aim of the group is for members to enjoy viewing one and others artwork each month and for the experienced photographers to discuss and share technical and creative thoughts with other members.  Whether you use your phone, a point & shoot camera, or a DSLR, you are welcome to bring your photos (and a friend!) to share!
