This is a historic moment for Boston's only public high school for the arts. We are honored 

that the Boston School Committee accepted our transformative slate of named spaces, including the naming of the building.

The Building Our Future campaign began in 2017, with the goal to raise $32M to augment the Boston Arts Academy school budget and to ensure long-term financial sustainability for BAA. 

Learn more about the Comprehensive Campaign

Throughout the campaign, Boston Arts Academy Foundation received tremendous support from the community.

We are proud to announce the following approved named spaces:

In addition to these named spaces, BAA Foundation will also be fulfilling the naming of theatre seats, benches and gathering stairs within the new school building.

Throughout BAA's 25th Anniversary year, we look forward to sharing more with the community on the importance of these named spaces, and their connection and dedication to Boston Arts Academy, public arts education, and Boston's youth. 

Stay tuned for more information on ribbon cutting ceremonies.

Get Involved & Give BAAck

On October 7, 1998, Boston Arts Academy opened its door as a pilot school, serving as a pathway  

to success for low-income urban students who might not otherwise have access to a formal arts and college-preparatory education. 

25 years later, BAA has influenced the cultural fabric of Boston and changed the lives of over 2,000 alumni.

This year, during BAA's 25th year, BAA finally moved into its brand-new school building in Fenway. The building features a 500-seat professional theatre, STEAM lab, pin-up gallery, rooftop terrace, multiple dance studios, and more.

While BAA’s new school building will help us permanently close opportunity gaps for more of Boston’s students, it will not change the school’s existing funding model: 

Boston Public Schools pays for Boston Arts Academy’s core academic curriculum, and 

BAA Foundation funds the school’s arts curriculum

 as well as academic and social-emotional support services. Enhancing the school’s financial sustainability is more critical than ever.

With support from friends like you during our 25th year, we can ensure that the students have the resources they need to achieve their full potential. 

Help us keep the arts ALIVE by gifting $25, $250, $2,500, $25,000 or more to be recognized in The BAAF Anniversary Club!
