The mission of the Beaux-Arts Atelier (BAA) is to advocate for beautiful design for important public projects. The goal is to be able to sponsor design competitions, support the winning teams in designing and illustrating their projects, and present them to the public, the press, stakeholders, and potential funders.

We focus on three areas:

DESIGN

ADVOCACY

EDUCATION

As our pilot project for Penn Station and Madison Square Garden in New York has demonstrated, we can influence the conversation around major public projects, and provide inspiring design solutions that can be realized. Join us in bringing beautiful design to the public realm!
