For over four decades the Brooklyn Arts Council [BAC] has lent services and support to artists of “all disciplines,” from performance art to film and visual media, according to BAC President Ella Weiss – who is featured in the above video.
As BAC’s website states, each year the organization “distributes over $350,000 in grants to help fund hundreds of projects by Brooklyn artists and organizations.” During the summer months, they also hold seminars throughout the borough in order to assist creative locals – many of whom might not be familiar with the application process required to score some much-needed funding.
The annual seminar series will be coming to the Bay Ridge Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library [7223 Ridge Blvd] tomorrow, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The discussion will include:
- An overview of the 2013 grant opportunities offered by BAC.
- An explanation of the application process.
- Tips on writing a successful grant.
- A Q&A session, and an opportunity to meet BAC staff, as well as other applicants.
The video covers the seminar beginning at the three minute mark. Click here to RSVP.
