The Buffalo Academy for
Visual and Performing Arts
You are cordially invited to an evening of education and community at the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts. This unique Buffalo Public School is part of the magnet system in Buffalo and closely connected to the thriving Art community of Western New York.
BAVPA, which includes grades five through twelve, has been the best kept secret in Western New York for close to thirty years. It was founded in the late 1970’s as a college preparatory plan to attract students from all over the city regardless of race or ethnicity. The BAVPA spent most of its time in a building on Clinton Street, and recently moved into a new facility on Masten and Ferry.
The Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts is the crown jewel of the Buffalo Public Schools Reconstruction Program with a whopping $35 million price tag. The physical plant is simply stunning and must be seen to be believed.
