BICA School is a free art school, an alternative model of secondary art education — created in response to a crisis of arts education nationally.

Our cohort meets regularly for a curriculum of critiques, reading groups, exercises, and experiences designed in collaboration with BICA exhibiting artists, curators, scholars, local artists, and more.

Support Our School!

BICA School is free to join, but not free to run. We depend on fundraisers and individual donors to ensure we have the space we need to do our thing, resources to do projects, and funding to pay guest artists and teachers when we need them. Your donations mean the world to us.
