BCA’s 2010 Arts Fund Program

The Bronx Council on the Arts is seeking submissions from Bronx arts organizations and artists for new public projects that have not taken place due to lack of funding or projects already scheduled for which additional funds would have a significant impact. This initiative is geared to organizations with annual budgets under $100,000 for two of the last three years and independent artists who are unaffiliated. This grant will only support projects that demonstrate a community/public benefit. Funding for this program is made possible by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs through the Greater New York Arts Development Fund (DCAGNYADF) and the New York City Council.

Application Deadline: Friday, October 30, 2009
