Join us for our inaugural 6×6 Fundraiser from 3 – 8 pm at Cooper and Mill Brewing Company, 200 Dewey Ave. Sponsored by Phillips 66, all artwork is 6″ x 6″ and each piece is priced at $66. All proceeds from the sale of these original mini-masterpieces benefit the programs at the BAA.
BAA is committed to sharing the love of art throughout our vibrant community.
To that end, we have established a scholarship fund for those in need of a bit of help with tuition to attend classes.
For example, did you know that over 20% of the children attending our Summer Art Camp have tuition assistance?
Financial assistance for adults is also available. We ask that adults pay whatever they can towards a class and we’ll make up the rest in exchange for volunteering at FUN BAA events. It’s a win-win for everyone! It’s super easy to apply for tuition assistance with this link.
