2019 marks the 39th year that Brooklyn Arts Council has been providing this service to Brooklyn’s artists, cultural ambassadors, arts organizations and communities. 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. Each year, grant applications are reviewed by a group of panelists with expertise in the applicant's discipline. Click here for the list of 2019 Panelists.
