Our participants have performed in community showcases, school programs, and special events, proudly representing their communities and the mission of BAAI. From voice and instrumentals to spoken word and acting, we are nurturing well-rounded artists and responsible leaders.

“The arts gave me a voice when I didn’t know how to speak up. BAAI helped me find that voice.”

— A BAAI Student Performer
