Our Mission
Our mission is to support Boston Arts Academy as they educate the next generation of artists, scholars, and global citizens.
Get Involved
Comprehensive Campaign
Boston Arts Academy is the city’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts, providing opportunities that would not otherwise be available to our youth citizens.
Through our seven-year Building Our Future comprehensive campaign, we are striving to raise $35 million to ensure the long-term sustainability of BAA. Thanks to tremendous community support, we are nearing that goal. Please join us in closing the gap and supporting Boston’s next generation of artists, scholars, and global citizens.
