Boston Arts Academy Foundation
About
The Boston Arts Academy Foundation raises money for Boston Arts Academy, the city’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts. Its mission is to support the school as it educates the next generation of artists, scholars and global citizens. Funding goes to professional arts education alongside a core academic curriculum, giving Boston students opportunities that would not otherwise be available to them, in majors including dance, music, fashion design, television and film, and visual arts.
The foundation’s signature event, Honors, is inspired by the Kennedy Center Honors and recognizes leaders in each of the school’s arts majors, along with civic responsibility and lifetime achievement. It is the largest single source of unrestricted funding for the school each year. The foundation also presents a Champion Award to community members who exemplify the school’s pillars of arts, scholarship and citizenship, and it publishes an annual gratitude report for supporters.
