"The BAA Fellowship program is a wonderful opportunity for Berkshire County college students to exhibit their work for a larger regional audience. The reception brings emerging and seasoned artists together for conversation about the student work, which always encourages MCLA students on their paths of creativity."

“Changing the context of the learning environment creates renewed enthusiasm, especially when coupled with an artist or museum educator who provides expert knowledge and details that pique our interest. Field trips supplement the learning we do in class, often seeing works of art that we studied on a screen or in a book. I'm grateful to the BAA for supporting these opportunities.”

“The BAA has significantly raised student engagement through enriching field trips and experiences outside the classroom. Additionally, thanks to their funding, we have been able to purchase quality watercolors and easels for the hundreds of students we serve. Together, we are making a positive impact on our students’ artistic journeys.”
