This incredible program adds so much to Park Slope and it deserves our support.
BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange—arts and artists in progress – is a multi-arts non-profit organization in Park Slope, Brooklyn, founded in 1991 (as the Gowanus Arts Exchange). Their mission is to provide a nurturing, year-round performance, rehearsal and educational venue in Brooklyn that encourages artistic risk-taking and stimulates dialogue among diverse constituencies.
A neighborhood home for the arts and recognized citywide and nationally for its work “developing” artists, BAX is an advocate of cultural diversity and inventiveness. BAX received a special citation in 1998 from the New York Dance and Performance Awards (“Bessie”) for “building a house and a home for the arts in Brooklyn…championing the vital connection of accessible education to the life and livelihood of artists; for imagining, supporting and leading a wildly diverse, aesthetically vocal community…”
BAX has offered a full range of presenting—currently over 50 evenings each season-and educational programs for children and adults in dance, theater, performance art, and film/video since 1991. Three alternative public schools in Brooklyn receive arts-in-education programs, as well. BAX’s diversity is its greatest strength.
