The Baum School of Art is a non-profit community art school located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
In 2007–2008, the school had a total enrollment of 3,326 students, 1,911 of which were children and teens, and 1,415 of which were adults. 178 classes were offered for children and teens, and 168 for adult students.
The school was established in the summer of 1926, when artist Walter Emerson Baum was recruited by Blanche Lucas to provide art instruction to art teachers of the Allentown School District. Feedback was so positive that Baum was asked to return again and again. The classes became known as "The Baum School."
