BSA is blossoming in the arts these past few months!
We just hosted our annual student art show, with self portraits and other incredible artwork created by our students on display and sale for caregivers, staff, and friends. Many of the self portraits came with artist statements about how the young people learned how to grow through their art. For example, student artist Isabella entitled her piece Shyness and explained: “In freshman and sophomore year, I was a very shy girl and barely made any friends. Although I had four close friends, I was always in the shadows. I learned that it takes time to loosen up.”
We also recently had one of our students, Mahfouz, win the grand prize in the New York City Community Schools Student Film Contest. Many of our students submitted short video clips about BSA; Mahfouz's film was selected as the city-wide winner, so his film was screened at the Tribeca Teaches Film Festival. His classmates were invited to join him to see his film on the big screen, plus a special breakfast! Check out his short film on our website now.
