Description
The New Work grant, administered by the Bronx Council on the Arts and supported by the New York State Council on the Arts Statewide Community Regrants Program, is designed to empower individual Bronx-based artists to create new, original projects within a community context. The program encourages artists from all disciplines to actively engage Bronx communities, either through public events (like exhibitions or performances) or by involving community members directly in the creative process. The focus is on fostering meaningful connections between artists and the Bronx community, supporting innovative works that are accessible, inclusive, and reflective of the borough’s diversity.
