2015 marks the 35th year that BAC has been providing this service to Brooklyn’s artists, cultural ambassadors, arts organizations and communities. BAC Community Arts Grants provide the indispensable service of putting our city and state cultural dollars directly into the hands of the artists and organizations, encouraging the kind of cultural and artistic engagement that has helped make Brooklyn a world-wide destination for arts and culture.
