Brooklyn Arts Council Community Arts Grant




2011 is off to a great start! The Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) Community Arts Regrant Program and the BAC Board of Directors awarded me a generous grant to do a personal & collaborative photography project. Details about the project coming soon! My project will be funded by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA). Below is additional information about the Brooklyn Arts Council.

ABOUT BAC

WHO WE ARE
We are the arts council for the borough of Brooklyn. We bring leadership and energy to every part of Brooklyn’s arts scene, supporting and connecting it all. It doesn’t matter where you fit into the arts—artist, audience member, participant, venue, educator or supporter—we want you to create and experience the arts in every neighborhood of Brooklyn.

What drives us? Our impassioned belief in the intrinsic value of the arts and artists, as well as what they can do. Art has a unique ability to bridge cultures, inspiring positive transformation in individual lives and entire communities.

WHAT WE DO
BAC gives grants, presents free and affordable arts events, trains artists and arts professionals, teaches students, incubates new projects and promotes artists and cultural groups across our borough. Brooklyn’s cultural anchor since 1966, BAC has also been the catalyst helping the arts community grow. We continually evaluate and evolve what we do to meet the changing times, and keep our commitment to community engagement, diversity and inclusion when it comes to the arts in our borough.
