Bradford County Regional Arts Council

Bradford County Regional Arts Council Nonprofit offering movies, art, theatre, concerts, and more to the Endless Mountains region of Pennsylvania. We run the historic Sayre and Keystone Theatres.

In 1988, the Bradford County Regional Arts Council (BCRAC) hired Brooks Eldredge-Martin as its first employee and Executive Director. In the period 1988 to 1995, the BCRAC purchased, renovated and began operating the only three historic theatres remaining in Bradford County. As a result of a 1996 long-range plan the BCRAC expanded its arts and cultural mission, 'to promote arts and culture in our

region', by becoming a Partner with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for re-granting and implementation of arts in education programs serving six counties in the Northern Tier. In 1997, the BCRAC began to focus on arts in education programs for early childhood. The BCRAC formed the Learning Early Network, which was selected as a "Best Practice in the Arts in Pennsylvania" in 1999. On June 3, 2007 the BCRAC received the first-ever American's for the Arts - Arts in Education Award in Las Vegas. In 2000, the BCRAC became a Partner with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for re-granting funds in support of public, community arts activities. BCRAC now implements this program throughout seven counties in the Northern Tier. In 2012, the BCRAC experienced a leadership change with the retirement of long-time Executive Director Brooks Eldredge-Martin. This was followed closely by long-range planning and evaluation of the organization. As a result, the Board of Directors approved a revised mission statement in 2013.

Oh, what a night!!!! ✨🎸❤️

After the chaos of this morning, it was so good to gather together tonight for Poolhouse. Thank you to the 167 people who came out and filled the theater with so much energy and support. We were even able to open the balcony!

Seeing so many familiar faces after a stressful day was a reminder of how special this community truly is and why are so proud to fill it with the music it deserves.

Thank you to Poolhouse for making this beautiful night possible and sharing the night with us! We appreciate you more than you know! Make sure to check them out for more events they have coming up! Thank you to our staff and bartenders who helped the event run so smoothly and our sound engineers who were in action mixing all night.

We’re proud to be a part of this community and grateful to keep creating these moments together! Support local music and the arts!! And we will see you soon! ❤️

This morning, smoke was discovered in the Taylor theatre after an electrical AC unit gave out during the brown out. Thanks to the quick actions of our staff and the rapid response of our local firefighters and emergency personnel, the situation was handled safely and efficiently. Most importantly, everyone is safe and there were no injuries.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our fire department and local emergency services for their professionalism and support. We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated first responders in our community.

Out of an abundance of caution, all movie showings in the Taylor Theatre scheduled for tonight have been cancelled.

The good news is that we are cleared for Poolhouse to still perform tonight as scheduled! We look forward to welcoming everyone for a great night and getting lost in some good music.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. We appreciate this community more than you know! ❤️
