BAX Brooklyn Arts Exchange

Our School Breaks Arts Programs offer enriching and fun opportunities for young students during their time away from school. The President&rsquo;s Week, Spring Break and Summer Arts Programs foster creativity, encourage exploration, and provide a positive and nurturing environment. Drawing on BAX&rsquo;s year-round education programs, students explore different disciplines throughout the week (including circus, dance, music, theater, tumbling, and visual arts), while balancing fun creative play activities throughout the day/week. BAX also offers daylong intensive Master Classes for young artists ages 10-14 that coincide with the Spring Break Arts Program. These exciting classes provide students with an opportunity to explore BAX&rsquo;s signature Theater, Modern Dance, and AcroBAX tumbling programming with BAX Faculty. Students are expected to have prior experience with their chosen discipline (minimum of two prior classes). &nbsp;
