ARTS FOR ALL: The Artists Avenue Scholarship Campaign
At The Artists Avenue, a program under Blessed to Bless Community Development Corporation (B2B CDC), we’re on a mission to ignite creativity, cultivate confidence, and champion accessible arts education for the next generation of performers.
We believe in the transformative power of the performing arts—and the lasting impact it has on the lives of young people. Through theatre, our students gain more than just artistic training. They develop confidence, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication skills that empower them far beyond the stage.
As Bayonne’s only non-school-affiliated musical theatre program, we are proud to offer high-quality, inclusive arts education—especially to BIPOC youth and families who may not otherwise have access. We're committed to removing financial barriers so that every young artist, regardless of income, has the opportunity to grow and shine.
Why We Need You — All Year Long
Each season, we receive heartfelt scholarship applications from students eager to join our program—but not all can afford tuition. After 10 incredible years of service, we’ve reached a point where we need the support of our community to keep accessible arts education alive and thriving.
Your support—whether through a donation, sponsorship, or grant—makes this possible. It allows us to hire professional teaching artists, produce high-caliber performances, and create a safe, inclusive space where young people can explore who they are and what they’re capable of.

Give All Year. Change a Life Forever.
While our next show season kicks off soon, this campaign is ongoing—because the need doesn’t stop in September. Whether you're giving in January, July, or December, your support fuels transformation.
