What Being a Mentor Means
You are not volunteering your time. You are joining a community of people who are actively changing the world through art — and investing in the next generation that will continue that work. You decide what you offer and how much you give. The minimum is simply being in the room.

Your name, field, company, and a line about what you offer students — publicly listed in the BAS mentor directory.
Event Access
Access to every BAS event, exhibition, competition, and production — including Next New York.
Student Sponsorship
Your fee directly sponsors one student fellowship — wall space at Next New York, mentor access, and eligibility for our residencies.
You Choose Your Role
15-minute chats. Portfolio reviews. Studio visits. Speaking. Hosting. Traveling. You decide what you offer and when.
Mentor Pricing
One Community. One Goal.
