at Brandeis University
       


 

Each day at BIMA is intense, challenging and full of creativity. On a typical day you will spend time in your primary arts major, you will choose from a wide array of workshops, and you will dialogue with, learn from and have a great time with a dynamic community unlike any other you have known before.

Each week you will have the chance to get off campus to a wide variety of destinations including the rich arts and cultural offerings found in Boston and throughout New England.

BIMA believes that interactions among teens from diverse backgrounds enhances creativity, and that exchanges among artists of different disciplines enriches artistic growth. BIMA promotes a dialogue of multiple interpretations in both Jewish living and the arts. Participants at BIMA explore the arts in an engaging Jewish community and discover where these two worlds intersect.
