Brooklyn Arts Council Accepting Grant Applications
Deadline: September 27, 2007 

The Brooklyn Arts Council will grant more than one hundred Brooklyn-based artists and nonprofit arts and/or community organizations funding of up to $5,000 each through the BAC 2007 Community Arts Regrant Program. Funding is for specific projects in the following areas: visual arts, film/video, media, photography, crafts, folk arts, multi- discipline, literature/writing, dance, music, opera, theater, and drama. In addition, through the JPMorgan Chase Regrant Program, funding will be provided for capacity-building projects for arts organizations. BAC cannot provide total funding for the appli- cant's project. Additional funding sources are required.



Applicant organizations must be Brooklyn-based, not-for-profit arts and community organizations recognized as tax exempt by the IRS under section 501(c)(3) or recognized under Article 7A as a NYS Charities Registration. Individual artist applicants must be Brooklyn residents. Applicants may submit up to three requests to BAC, totaling a maximum of $5,000, not including JPMorgan Chase. Eligible org- anizations can apply for an additional $3,000 from the JPMorgan Chase Regrant Program.



To apply, all applicants are required to attend a BAC Regrant Application Seminar, for either artists or arts organizations, to learn about guidelines and instructions. Visit the BAC Web site for guidelines and application seminars information.
