Founded in 2016 by Katy Pfaffl and Ben Houghton, Broadway for Arts Education (BAE) began as a concert series to raise money to fund a music fellowship for a school in rural India, the Shanti Bhavan Children's Project, assisting their mission to end generational poverty and making sure music was a part of the school year-round. It has since evolved into a federally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, serving students in India, Ecuador, Haiti, and across New York City with more than 70 hours of music, dance, theater, and visual arts programming each week.

With 16 teaching artists and the support of more than 146 Broadway performers over the past year, BAE is committed to using arts education as the tool to open doors through which tomorrow's leaders can emerge.

Five years ago, they were babies, but they've now grown into a thriving community of teachers, students, advocates, and artists working together to open doors so that all young people can receive the complete education they deserve.
