“BAM has never had as great an opportunity to affect as many lives as we have now.”
—BAM President Karen Brooks Hopkins on the Ignite campaign

The Ignite campaign is a three-year, $15 million fundraising venture that will dramatically increase the impact of BAM’s visionary arts education program. With your help, BAM Education—which already serves 220 schools and over 25,000 students, teachers, and parents annually—will double in size. Your support will allow us to build upon BAM’s extraordinary resources, expanding with new programs for all ages, and bridge cultures and communities through the use of web streaming and other technology.

With an exciting new home in the BAM Fisher and a concrete plan of action in place, only one more thing is needed to realize this bold vision: you. Support us, and ignite the promise of art.
