advertiser, fellow art administrator or art patron, you have played
a very important part in the success of The Baum School of Art. You

community art school located in a center-city setting amongst
diverse neighborhoods, we strive to work in partnership with

outstanding exhibitions in the David E. Rodale Gallery, or the
numerous community and fundraising events held in the Fowler East
Wing… there is always something inspiring and innovative happening.

SCHOLARSHIP & FINANCIAL AID
Pursuant of its mission,
Linny’s Kids
an important element in the Baum School’s operations has been the Scholarship and Financial Assistance Program. In
The Baum School offers a special tuition assistance program designed to offer children, whose
addition to supporting meritorious achievement, the School believes that no student should be deprived of studying
families cannot afford the cost of tuition, an opportunity to attend classes. The program is made
art because of his/her inability to pay, or refused admission because of gender, creed, race, or social status.
possible through the generosity of Mrs. Marlene “Linny “ Fowler, a staunch patron of the arts and
advocate for our schools, and a compassionate benefactor to dozens of humanitarian organizations
in the Lehigh Valley. Linny’s love of children and her belief that those who participate in the arts
create a healthy outlet for life is manifested in the opportunities provided by this program.
