About the organization
Founded in 1966, the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) is one of the oldest and largest arts councils in the United States, with a mission to support and promote the artistic and cultural life of Brooklyn. Rooted in a borough known for its diversity and creative energy, BAC operates as both a grantmaker and a direct service provider, offering funding, professional development, and public programs that reach artists across disciplines and career stages. Its ethos is grounded in accessibility and community engagement, prioritizing equitable support for emerging and underrepresented voices alongside established practitioners.

Applicants should carefully review BAC's guidelines, which emphasize clarity of project goals, community impact, and feasibility. For teaching artist roles, demonstrate pedagogical experience and cultural competence. For grants, articulate a specific artistic vision and realistic budget. BAC values proposals that reflect Brooklyn's diversity and show genuine engagement with local communities. Avoid generic language; instead, provide concrete details about your practice and its context. Deadlines are firm, and applications are often reviewed by peer panels, so adhere strictly to formatting and eligibility requirements.
