Give Access.
The Arts have the Power.

Your contribution is more than a donation. It goes straight to work helping hundreds of underserved youth in Minneapolis reach their highest artistic dreams. Together we can make arts access a reality, but we need your support.

On behalf of everyone impacted by lack of arts access, thank you for being an Arts Access Hero. You are one who changes lives for the better.


"Keyboarding, visual art, bucket drumming, and performing arts were taught giving our scholars the opportunity to create original content. BSOMA also created opportunities to perform before thousands of people in external community performances; an experience our scholars would not have had.”
— Dr. B. Charvez Russell | Executive Director – Friendship Academy
