The BPS Art Education Department's mission is to  encourage and cultivate in our students a life-long love, respect and appreciation for the Visual Arts by providing all students with a rigorous Visual Arts program that is aligned to NYS standards and the BPS curriculum, and by doing so, the Visual Arts will become an integral part of the successes and achievements of all our students.
