Butler Community Arts School
Empowering Communities through the Arts

Support the Future of Arts Education – Give to BCAS Today!

Your donation to the Butler Community Arts School (BCAS) will directly empower individuals through arts education, opening doors to creativity, self-expression, and future opportunities. BCAS provides accessible and high-quality arts programs to community members of all ages, offering group classes, private lessons, and immersive summer arts camps.

At BCAS, we believe that everyone should have access to transformative arts education regardless of their financial situation. Through the BCAS Tuition Assistance Fund, your gift ensures that we can provide financial support to students who would otherwise be unable to participate. Your generosity helps make the arts accessible to all, fostering a community where creativity can thrive.

BCAS has profoundly impacted students, inspiring many to continue their education at Butler University. Over 200 students have participated in BCAS programs and later enrolled at Butler, benefiting from a supportive and engaging environment that goes beyond academics. Thanks to the foundation BCAS provided, these students not only pursued higher education but also chose careers in the arts.

 

"BCAS provided me an opportunity early in my career to begin building experience teaching. My experience at BCAS has been vital in my career in higher education, it opened the door and provided me with hands-on experience that I still use every day in my teaching."

              - Nicholas Sokol, BCAS Teaching Artist; Adjunct Professor: Indiana University Indianapolis, Butler University, Indiana Wesleyan University

"My experience with BCAS played a major role in my decision to come to Butler University. Through BCAS, I discovered my passion for music, and that sparked my journey to pursue a degree in Music Education. Coming to Butler was the right decision for my development as a musician."

              - Donnie Bryant, BCAS Teaching Artist; Butler Music Education and Jazz Studies second-year student


Join us in supporting the next generation of artists and community leaders. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Together, we can ensure that BCAS continues to provide access to the arts and inspires future generations.
