Donate to the BAA
Why?
The Brickbottom® Artists Association (BAA), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, is dedicated to preserving and expanding the arts in Somerville and the greater Boston area.
For decades, artists have made their homes and studios here, and the community they’ve built is something worth protecting. Rents climb, spaces disappear, and creative neighborhoods can vanish before anyone notices. The BAA exists to prevent that from happening here. We keep the doors open, the lights on, and the work visible.
Where your gift goes
Your donations help keep the Brickbottom Artists Association running by supporting our gallery, funding marketing and outreach, and covering essential expenses. In practical terms, that means:
Our gallery. A place where local artists can show their work, and where neighbors, collectors, and curious visitors can walk in and discover something new.
Marketing and outreach. Getting the word out about exhibitions, open studios, and events so more people can find us and the artists we champion.
Essential expenses. The unglamorous but important stuff, like keeping the space safe, maintained, and ready for the next show.
Every dollar matters
You don’t have to give a lot to make a difference. Small gifts add up, and they tell artists in our community that someone is rooting for them. Whether you’re a longtime friend of the BAA or just found us today, we’re glad you’re here.
Thanks to all who donate. You’re the reason this place keeps going.
