about us
why
We believe in the power of creativity to foster dialogue, collaboration and innovation across communities. As such, we partner with an inclusive network of artists, educators and organizations to create intentional spaces for Black, Brown, Indigenous and Asian creators to be seen and heard.
Our vision is an arts ecosystem that mirrors our country’s diverse cultural landscape. As a rising tide raises all ships, we strive to raise awareness of BBIA voices in music education and throughout the creative economy.
