The Bronx Academy of Art & Dance proudly announces that its co-founder, the award-winning dancer/choreographer Arthur Aviles will receive an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from his alma mater, Bard College, on Saturday, May 23, 2015 as part of the college’s 155th Commencement Ceremony.  At the ceremony, Bard President Leon Botstein will confer 420 undergraduate degrees on the Class of 2015 and honorary doctoral degrees to NAACP President Sherrilyn Ifill (Doctor of Laws), Neurobiologist Cori Bargmann (Doctor of Science), Historian Anthony Grafton (Doctor of Humane Letters) and Artist Kiki Smith (Doctor of Fine Arts) in addition to Mr. Aviles. The ceremony begins at 2:30 p.m. in the commencement tent on the Seth Goldfine Memorial Rugby Field at Bard College at Annandale-On-Hudson, NY. Arthur Aviles received his B.A. in dance and theater from Bard College in 1987.  In 1995, he received the Charles Flint Kellogg Award in Arts and Letters Award from Bard.   His other honors include a New York Dance and Performance (Bessie) Award for his outstanding creative achievement during the Jones/Zane seasons in 1988 and 1989,  a NYFA (New York Foundation for the Arts) Fellowship, a Tanne Foundation award, a Mayor’s Award for Art and Culture and a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Master’s Grant from Pregones Theatre.

Aviles danced with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and toured internationally with the company for eight years before forming his own dance company, Arthur Aviles Typical Theatre (AATT) in 1996.  He has choreographed over two dozen dance works and his company has performed at Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors, Jacob’s Pillow, Central Park Summerstage, Symphony Space, Harlem Stage, Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Celebrate Brooklyn, Hostos Center for the Performing Arts and several other venues in NY, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Connecticut. He’s been awarded dance residencies at dozens of universities in the US and Italy.

In December 1998, he co-founded BAAD!  - The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, a performance space that blazed a path for professional art and dance in the Bronx and has garnered local and national attention for its work. The New York Times crowned BAAD! “a funky and welcoming performance space” and Theater Journal has said, “they have created a space for art in an environment that seems antithetical to that act.”    BAAD! is located at 2474 Westchester Square in the Westchester Square section of the Bronx.
