Brooklyn Academy of Music

The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) continues to present groundbreaking works of theater, music, dance, opera, and multimedia productions to diverse audiences from New York and beyond. With a pioneering vision, BAM has long been at the forefront of innovation in the arts.

At the same time, BAM has been a driving force in building community—especially in Brooklyn—through a robust calendar of education and humanities programs, film screenings, and other events. For more than 40 years, BAM has prioritized audience diversity as a core value.

The Foundation currently supports BAM’s Ticket Assistance Program, which provides free and discounted tickets to local audiences, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation.
