Show up. Speak up. Shape the future of arts education.

Every Child Deserves the Arts
Our Purpose
At BA4AE, we believe creativity isn’t optional—it’s essential.
We’re parents, educators, artists, and neighbors working together to make sure every student in Baltimore City Public Schools has access to the arts education they deserve.
Together, we’re building a brighter, more creative future for our kids—and our city.


It has been proven time and time again in countless studies that students who actively participate in arts education are twice as likely to read for pleasure, have strengthened problem-solving and critical thinking skills, are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, four times more likely to participate in a math and science fair.
