BAM is the home for adventurous artists, audiences, and ideas. To that end, BAM places a special emphasis on its commitment to the community. From discounted tickets and transportation for special needs groups to opportunities for local arts organizations and businesses, BAM is committed to strengthening its various business and cultural partnerships–and the BAM Cultural District and Brooklyn overall.

The BAM Professional Development Program provides professional development training and deeply discounted theater and rehearsal studio rental to an annual selection of Brooklyn nonprofit arts organizations.

BAM is undertaking environmentally conscious initiatives in many areas.

The BAM Cultural District is home to more than 40 vibrant Brooklyn-based arts groups. The master plan for developing the district envisions a model for a new kind of 21st-century cultural center.

BAM makes it a priority to ensure that ticket price is not an obstacle to attendance. The Ticket Assistance Program (TAP) provides free tickets for BAM events to organizations serving underserved families and at-risk youth, bringing thousands of people annually to events such as DanceAfrica, the BAMkids Film Festival, and many others.
