Bay Area Video Coalition, or BAVC (pronounced "bay-vac") is a nonprofit media arts center. BAVC was launched in 1976 as a way to make emerging video technology accessible to independent mediamakers. Today, with that mission still at its core, BAVC has evolved into a media arts "teaching hospital."

BAVC actively supports a new generation of diverse mediamakers through our youth programs. We offer workshops, comprehensive training, and client-based production in digital video, web, and audio. Our programs emphasize creative and socially relevant storytelling, high production quality, innovative distribution, and real-world applications of digital media skills.
