In 1998, a group of Bronx artists, dancers, and dreamers transformed an abandoned banknote warehouse in Hunts Point into something magical. That space would become the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, a home for queer artists, artists of color, and Bronx communities whose voices and stories deserved to be centered on stage.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2026 from 6–9pm, return to the neighborhood where it all began for BAAD! Homecoming: Celebrating the Hunts Point Years, a festive evening taking place at Bronxlandia (910 Hunts Point Avenue), just blocks from BAAD!’s original home.

This joyful gathering will celebrate the artists, neighbors, and supporters who helped build BAAD! into the cultural beacon it is today. We will indulge in storytelling, performances, community memories, and a special tour of BAAD!’s original location on Barretto Street.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor of this historic celebration.

Your sponsorship directly supports BAAD!’s mission to uplift Bronx-based performers, queer artists, women, artists of color, and visionary creators whose work pushes artistic boundaries and strengthens our community.

For over two decades, BAAD! has been a space where radical joy, dance, theater, and culture thrive. With your support, we will continue building stages where our communities can imagine and perform the worlds we deserve. We would be honored to celebrate with you.

This event supports BAAD!’s programming. For sponsorship inquiries, contact [email protected].
