BFF Youth Arts Scholarship

Thanks to some AMAZING local artists who waived their artist fees on our Micah House project, we've re-routed the funds to go toward an area youth arts scholarship for a student pursuing a trade, associate’s, or bachelor’s degree in the fine or performing arts.

Applications are open March 1st - April 5th.

For full requirements, details, and how to submit, please click the link below!

PETSHOP

We are proud to announce that BFF has taken over lease and overhead management of PETSHOP - a shared space in Benson, offering studios, galleries, storage, event & meeting space, & offices.

We have also moved the BFF HQ into Petshop's latest expansion!   
So it is officially now our home :)

While BFF manages the overhead, we are still keeping
programming artist and community driven.

See what's next in the galleries, who's in the studios, and how you can host your event at PETSHOP.

The MaMO

We did it.

We turned a 42' semi truck into a moving gallery!

Stay up to date with the MaMO and its whereabouts!
(pronounced "May-MOH" for Mayflower MObile) ​
