FIrebird Initiative
We believe every child deserves access to the life-changing power of arts education.
Beverly Arts Center is pleased to launch the Firebird Initiative with your support. This scholarship program provides affordable and free tuition for on-site classes, workshops, and summer camps in the School of Fine Arts. The BAC is committed to making our programming inclusive and accessible to every child in our community.
BAC’s School of Fine Arts has been delivering arts education experiences in dance and movement, music, theater and visual arts for children since 1967. SOFA programs provide a nurturing environment led by trained Teaching Artists who provide the support for all our student’s needs. The BAC prides itself in paying Teaching Artists a living wage and delivering the highest caliber arts programming in Chicago.
