The Beaux-Arts Atelier seeks to offer an apprenticeship program in which participants work alongside senior advisors to design major public projects and present them.

The goal is to offer design competitions which review the design proposals of young talented designers for specific projects. A jury will select a winning design, and the young designer(s) will be given the opportunity to develop their design alongside senior advisors, thus creating a type of apprenticeship training opportunity. The BAA will support the design development, renderings and other visuals, and advocacy of these designs in the public realm with the goal of influencing and enhancing both public awareness and discourse as to the beautiful design possibilities that can be realized for any given project.
