Important! A&C Members Only!


Due to website security issues, we have had to change aspects of the member-only section of the website.  Longtime members will find they can no longer make updates to their gallery pages themselves but must email changes to membership@bucksarts.org. We are working on a full-scale fix for members’ access but that will take a few months.


If you have an event or exhibition you want us to promote, here is how to do it!

  • Find Member Login | A&C Connect on the top left of the A&C homepage (www.bucksarts.org)
  • Enter your username and password. If you do not know or have forgotten your login credentials, select forgot password and follow the instructions or email membership@bucksarts.org  and ask for a new password. Please save it!
  • Once on the A&C Connect page, you will find a link to Event and News Promotion Form.
  • Use this form to let us know of upcoming events you would like us to promote on our calendar and through social media.
