​

A professional studio arts campus with one purpose! to expose high school students to an advanced creative education and to provide the experience necessary for the pursuit of a real world career in art!   

​

Our programs will focus on multiple areas of creative study. Each department outfitted and arranged as the backdrop to support our specialized curriculum. The course begins by identifying creative interests and skill levels.

In the end students will develop a real world group creative project, to conceptualize, build and present to market.

Our goal is to seek and tackle real world challenges allowing BISA students to build their own future!

​

Conceptualized by BISA's founder Scott Tucker's experience at art institutions, The Corcoran school of art,

The Fashion Institute of Technology and The Winchester school of Art in the UK.

​

"All provided a superior education in studio arts. 

In my opinion their most important commonality was exposure to multiple mediums and their application in the real world. The techniques and skills learned in the BISA program accelerate our student inherent creative capabilities. With exposure t tools and technology that transform painters to digital developers, sculptors to industrial designers and carpenters in to extraordinary furniture designers, vaporizing the antiquated notation of the "starving artist".

Below is an example of a BISA project approach over one semester.  Learn More about BISA Internship opportunities
