Baltimore City Public Schools and Young Audiences' Summer Arts Academy is an action-packed, full-day, five-week program that introduces students to a wide variety of art forms—from illustration, to spoken word, to percussion, to drama and dance—and gives students a chance to work alongside students from across the city and be taught by professional artists. Students have the opportunity to imagine, create, and express who they are through the arts and to concentrate in an art form of their choice.

In the first week of the 2019 Bloomberg Arts Internship in Baltimore, students got right to work honing skills in financial literacy and written communication, exploring social issues like the history of red lining and how it still impacts our communities today, and meeting with college mentors and BAI alumni!
