🎨 Brooklyn Arts Council is proud to be named a featured grantee in Brooklyn Org ‘s Brooklyn Backs Brooklyn campaign, part of a $240,000 investment in the cultural institutions sustaining our borough’s creative life.

Named within the campaign’s Brooklyn’s Cultural Future focus area, this support recognizes the role BAC plays every day: backing Brooklyn’s artists and cultural workers through grants, artist services, education, and neighborhood-rooted investment that keeps our creative ecosystem strong. 💙

At a moment when the arts, DEI, and community-rooted institutions face mounting pressure nationally, Brooklyn Org’s commitment is a clear statement: Brooklyn protects and invests in its own. We’re grateful to be part of a borough-wide effort to safeguard the spaces, stories, and people who make Brooklyn, Brooklyn.

Then. Now. Next. ✨

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month from Brooklyn Arts Council!

Then: In the 1980s, BACA Downtown supported groundbreaking q***r artists like David Wojnarowicz, Glenn Ligon, and Holly Hughes, bold creators pushing boundaries.

Now: Today’s q***r artists are doing the same:
- Nicole Cheng is quilting an archive of Q***r Brooklyn
- Pride Salsa is celebrating Latinx q***r joy through dance
- Q***r Nightlife Community Center’s SLAMBIENT is building community through sound and performance
- VERS Clothing for People is creating inclusive fashion

Next: We continue supporting all artists and creators building culture in Brooklyn.

Drop your favorite q***r artists in the comments! ✨

🖌️Our President + Executive Director linked up with x yesterday to join a conversation about how organizations like BAC can show up for artists because being an artist has no true definition.

By establishing a community, spotlighting or supporting creatives, and inspiring those around them, BAC helps artists find their own path to success.

What’s your definition of being an artist? 👀
