Fab Lab
Education guided by equity.
Young people embrace their vision, voice, and power through a wide range of culturally-responsive curricula that center their identities, realities, and artistry. A part of BAM Education, the FAB Lab—or Future Artists at BAM Lab—is a space where students from elementary to high school can create art with rigor, joy, and meaning. Through thought-provoking in-class and after school programs, festivals, workshops, performances, and screenings, the FAB Lab encourages young people to express themselves and engage with their community.
