The Bay Area Arts Readiness Network (BAARN), an initiative of NCAPER, brings together artists, cultural organizations, and emergency preparedness leaders to strengthen the region’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises. Rooted in collaboration and informed by local voices, BAARN focuses on building practical tools, shared resources, and coordinated strategies that support the arts sector before disasters happen. By connecting creative communities across the Bay Area, the network helps safeguard livelihoods, preserve cultural memory, and ensure that the arts continue to play a vital role in community resilience.
