Opened in 2000, the Sandra and Phillip Gordon Gallery is named after Sandra Gordon, the founding president of the Boston Arts Academy Foundation, and her husband Phillip Gordon, a long-time supporter of Boston Arts Academy . Under her ten year leadership, the Foundation raised more than $10 million to support faculty, programming, arts supplies, and production costs.

The Gordon Gallery has hosted numerous visiting artists throughout the years, providing students with extraordinary opportunities to study with acclaimed working artists.
