Description

BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange, founded in 1991, is a multigenerational arts organization nurturing creative expression and artistic process through education, residencies, and performance at the intersection of arts and social justice. For over three decades, BAX, a multi-generational nonprofit arts organization, has honored the power of performing arts to connect and transform individuals and communities. As an arts incubator, BAX is dedicated to supporting artists of all ages and stages of development—from young children to award-winning professionals—through communities of learning. Our artist residencies, affordable rehearsal studios, practice lab, and youth education programs annually invite over 10,000 students, parents, families, artists, and audiences to engage in shared creative journeys. We focus on embodied practices—dance, movement, theater, and multidisciplinary performance—and prioritize experimentation, process, collaboration, and mentorship. BAX commits to forging brave spaces by centering artists from historically underrepresented backgrounds and building equity and access across all programs. Ultimately, we aim to build collective power, promote cultural and racial justice, and encourage vibrant, interconnected networks to thrive.
