Bronx Recognizes its Own (BRIO)

Grant Amount: up to $5,000

Supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Greater New York Arts Development Fund

Bronx Recognizes Its Own For over 35 years, BCA’s BRIO Award has recognized artists from a wide range of creative disciplines who demonstrate proficiency, knowledge, and intense practice in their chosen artform. Each year, BRIO provides direct support to individual Bronx artists who create works in the literary, media, visual, and performing arts with awards of $5,000. Artists who have received a BRIO award represent the vast diversity of Bronx residents, inclusive of all ethnicities, ages, and genders. Awardees complete a one-time public service activity known as Artists for Community Enrichment (ACE), an essential component required of all BRIO recipients to be completed within a year of receiving the award. ACE provides artists with additional visibility and demonstrates to the Bronx community the wealth of artistic talent available in our borough.

The 2025 Bronx Recognizes Its Own (BRIO) application cycle opens Friday, November 15, 2024.
