WHO WE ARE

Bala Avenue of the Arts (BAoA) is a non-profit organization focused on creating a vibrant, thriving arts and culture destination on the Bala Avenue corridor. Guided by a Board of Directors composed of Lower Merion residents, BAoA is actively engaging with local and Philadelphia based artists, performers, and cultural institutions to infuse new energy into this integral part of our community. By engaging a broad range of community stakeholders, our hope is that together we can transform Bala Ave into a dynamic hub of artistic expression, leaving a lasting positive impact for generations to come.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity and support of individuals, businesses, and grants to fulfill our mission. We encourage community involvement and invite everyone to become a part of this exciting journey. Together, we hope to transform Bala Avenue into a place that fosters creativity, inspires imagination, and enriches the lives of those in our community.
