Bismarck Art and Galleries Association (BAGA) is an organization that promotes the study and preservation of the visual arts.

Founded in the early 1940s after a few people interested in art came together to exhibit their favorite works, the association has grown in leaps and bounds and now hosts several large art-based events throughout the year at their Visual Art Center.

Housed in a building at 422 East Front Avenue, the Bismarck Art and Galleries Association Visual Art Center features a variety of exhibitions and displays of various artworks in different mediums, and it offers art classes for all ages and hosts special events. BAGA also produces the Annual Capital A’Fair art and craft show held at the Bismarck Capitol Grounds each year.
