Sponsorship Packages, VIP Tickets and Tables are available.&nbsp; 			 About the Boston Arts Academy Foundation: 	Established in 1999, the Boston Arts Academy Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization that raises essential funds from private philanthropic sources to augment the Boston Arts Academy school budget. The Boston Arts Academy Foundation helps bridge the gap between the school’s annual allocation from the Boston Public Schools and the true cost of a high-quality education that is both art-intensive and college-preparatory.&nbsp; Although talent is equally distributed throughout the City of Boston, opportunity is not. The BAA Foundation supports Boston’s only public school for the arts in areas including arts programming, academic support services, social-emotional support services, and college scholarships. In addition, the Foundation works to generate awareness of the school and Foundation through their signature fundraising events, Champions and HONORS in which the Foundation recognizes individuals who have achieved greatness and inspiration in their arts professions and who financially support the school and their programs. Through the BAA Foundation, BAA students are supported with the resources they need to become successful artists, scholars, and global citizens. Visit our website to learn more: https://bostonartsacademy.org/foundation.&nbsp; About the Boston Arts Academy: Founded in 1998 as the city’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts, Boston Arts Academy (BAA) has distinguished itself among urban public high schools as a leader in innovative and effective student-centered education. Consistently recognized locally and nationally for its achievements, BAA exemplifies the power of an arts-rich education, and many BAA graduates have found success in college through the arts. In fact, for the past eleven straight years, at least 97 percent of BAA graduates have been accepted to college, with most being first-generation college attendees. BAA’s dynamic program prepares graduates to be critical thinkers, effective communicators, collaborators, and creators. Students come from all 23 Boston neighborhoods to receive the formal arts training and academic instruction that will make them Boston’s next generation of artists and cultural leaders. In September 2022, the BAA community entered its new $125 million, 153,500 square foot facility. Among many highlights, it includes two professional-quality theaters, a career center, academic classrooms, dance studios, music practice rooms, and fashion technology studios and workspaces. With the new school building, the number of students enrolled will eventually grow to over 500 per year.
