Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Beirut Art Center
Beirut Art Center (BAC) is a non-profit association, space, and platform dedicated to art research and cultural practices in Beirut, Lebanon. Since opening in 2009, BAC has facilitated the creation and realization of projects as well as interactions between local and international cultural initiatives in a space that is open and active all year long. Under its new direction, BAC continues to create a space for knowledge and creative exchanges, with added emphasis on creating a platform for collective discourse, central to all programming. This communal thinking space generates themes that are elaborated through ongoing reading groups, seminars, workshops, curated film programs, interdisciplinary presentations, digital content, and other outputs.
