About
For over 60 years, BCA has been a premier resource for Bronx artists and cultural organizations from every zip code in The Bronx. Through our regranting programs, the largest in the borough, we provide funding to support the work of artists and arts organizations and help bring the arts to the community. BCA's Bronx Recognizes Its Own (BRIO) awards foster artistic excellece through monetary awards for artists. Our professional development Artist Sustainability Workshop Series (ASWS), offers artists the tools to further develop their careers, and arts organizations the knowlege necessary to strengthen their practices.
Our role a resource in The Bronx has expanded further in 2020, with the opening of our new headquarters at 2700 East Tremont Avenue, and our new Bronx Artist Registry, giving Bronx Artists an affordable online space to showcase themselves.
