BAC’s 2016 funding cycle will also welcome the Creative Coalitions Commission, a new funding opportunity created specifically to support projects by artists living and working in East Brooklyn. Individual artists living and working in the Creative Coalitions service areas of Brownsville, East Bushwick, and East New York are invited to apply for $2,500 to support for socially-engaged community arts projects.
