About eba Programs 

eba, Inc. is dedicated to cultivating, promoting, and developing an understanding of and public interest in the performing, visual and technological arts; through creation, performance, training, touring and idea sharing. Of equal importance, we endeavor to cultivate an understanding of the inherent creative potential within each of us and to integrate these creative aims with daily life.

eba, Inc. began as an artist collective in 1973. From its simple beginnings, eba has grown into a multifaceted arts organization that is intrinsically woven into the artistic fabric of our Capital Region  Community.

To accomplish our mission, five distinct programs presently operate under the eba umbrella:
