Events
Expressions Gala
Our signature annual event has been the highlight of the Baltimore gala season for over 40 years — and there is something for everyone! Thursday Opening Night is a lively, festive evening with delectable hors d’oeuvres and cocktails before and after the performance. Our Saturday night fête includes art classes and experiences led by our accomplished students, a luscious selection of hors d’oeuvres, and an inspiring student performance. Our Family Performances invite the community to campus to experience the one-hour show.
Nutcracker
Many things have changed over the years, but one thing hasn’t — our heartwarming production of The Nutcracker is still a Baltimore favorite, seen by thousands annually. Featuring adults from the community as well as our beloved TWIGS and high school students, this magical performance enchants audiences every time. We provide free weekday matinees for Baltimore City Public Schools students; for many, this is the only live performance they will see all year. Our weekend and evening matinees are affordably priced, providing a little holiday magic for local families. Please contact Stephanie Moore if you’re interested in sponsoring the event.
Labor of Love
Our students are proud to attend Baltimore School for the Arts, and we want them to be proud of their building, too! Every September, volunteers spend a portion of their day at BSA helping us do work around the school, with tasks ranging from painting to landscaping to plumbing and electrical. There are projects for all skill levels, so please join us! We’re always looking for both volunteers as well as gift cards from home repair stores. This is an excellent project for a team from a company to do together! If you’d like to donate resources or volunteer, please contact Sarah Welch.
Spotlights
Thousands attend The Nutcracker and Expressions every year. But our Spotlights offers donors the opportunity to come to the school to participate in unique and carefully curated arts events in a more intimate setting. Previous Spotlights have included the Charles C. Baum Symposium for Business and the Arts, featuring alumnus Christian Siriano; Mountainfilm on Tour; and the Armstrong Honors Recital. If you’d like to learn more, please contact Meredith Rosenblatt.
