We watched creativity blossom at our Spring Break Arts Program.

2025 Fall Open House

Youth Education

Saturday, September 6, 2025

BAX | Brooklyn Arts Exchange

We kicked off the 2025/2026 season (September 8, 2025 – June 20, 2026) at our Fall 2025 Open House on September 6!

We enjoyed a day of free and fun collaborative activities for the whole family, starting outdoors at the Old Stone House from 9:30–11:00am, followed by sample youth classes in Creative Movement, Tumbling, Dance, Drag Performance, and Drama (for ages 3+) from 11:00am–2:00pm at the BAX Building, 421 5th Avenue.

This was a wonderful opportunity for both new and returning families to meet BAX staff and faculty ahead of the season start.

We were thrilled to launch our first-ever Drag Summer Arts Program (DragSAP), where joy, self-expression, and artistry sparkled all week and culminated in an unforgettable original performance inspired by Pink Pony Club! Huge cheers to all our wonderful participants and their families for making this summer one to remember.

In this week-long summer arts program at BAX, teens explored the colorful and transformative art form of Drag through the principles of drama and creative movement.

The title of this year’s show is RECIPE: OPTIONAL, inspired by BAX’s recipe book and our anarchic nature. This year, once again, we invite you to see our work virtually. We hope you enjoy our work and look forward to hanging it on BAX’s sheetrock walls in the future.

2025 Summer Arts Program

Youth Education

July 7 – August 1, 2025

BAX | Brooklyn Arts Exchange
The Old Stone House

Our Summer Arts Program (SAP) was alive with curiosity and imagination as young artists explored themes of nature and community through theater, dance, visual arts, and music — creating, experimenting, and collaborating with friends old and new.

We were also thrilled to launch our first-ever Drag Summer Arts Program (DragSAP), where joy, self-expression, and artistry sparkled all week and culminated in an unforgettable original performance inspired by Pink Pony Club!

Huge cheers to all our wonderful participants and their families for making this summer one to remember.

We always look forward to the morning when we all show up at BAX and get to see what everybody has been up to. This year, unlike the last two, we were able to hang a real live show that will be up and viewable in person until the end of June.
