In this special episode of This Is New England, we celebrate Boston Arts Academy.
It’s the city’s only public high school for the visual and performing arts. The school currently has about 500 students who pick from one of five majors: music, dance, visual arts, theater, or fashion.
Boston Arts Academy is free to attend, but the true cost of educating each student is about $5,000 per year and Boston Arts Academy Honors helps to make it possible for the incredibly gifted kids.
BAA Honors is the BAA Foundation’s signature annual fundraising event, modeled after the Kennedy Center Honors.

The show will also be live-streamed on www.necn.com and www.nbc10boston.com.
