Welcome to B:in, an opportunity to support BAM/PFA while deepening your experience of art and film through exceptional learning and travel opportunities and exclusive interactions with globally renowned artists and filmmakers, critics and scholars.

Since the late 1960s, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive has been inspired by Berkeley's freethinking and avant-garde spirit and rooted in the academic excellence that defines the University of California, Berkeley. B:in carries this vision into the twenty-first century. On the surface, B:in is an array of unique contextual programs, excursions, travel opportunities, classes, and events that provide exceptional access to art, film, and culture. At its core, B:in is a community of philanthropists who believe in the power of art and film to inspire, educate, and mobilize. At the same time, B:in is a fellowship of those eager to challenge their minds and their perception of the world.
