Give today to expand access to the performing arts.
Building for the Arts (BFA) expands access to the performing arts by providing creative space, learning opportunities, and hubs for artistic connection. For the past 48 years, we’ve been devoted to enriching the artistic and cultural life of the city and have played a key role in revitalizing West 42nd Street in Hell’s Kitchen. Our three signature programs: Theatre Row, Music and the Brain, and the American Playwriting Foundation—nurture artists, audiences, and youth with a focus on accessibility and inclusion.
Over BFA’s nearly five decades, we’ve seen first-hand how the performing arts can transform individual lives and entire communities by building empathy, equity, and visibility. We believe that access to these benefits should be a right, not a privilege, for all to enjoy, and we work every day to expand the reach of our impact to thousands of people across the country. We envision a world where everyone can connect through the transformative power of the performing arts, but we can’t do it without your help.
Help us reach that goal with your gift today!
