The mission of the Bronx Cultural Vision Fund (BCVF) is to support the live performing arts scene in the Bronx by funding the development of new concepts and the production of new work, emphasizing projects by Bronx-based individual artists, collectives, and nonprofit arts organizations in theater, music, dance, or multidisciplinary forms. BCVF aims to make significant investments in the borough’s performing arts community, developing long-term relationships with grantees.
The BCA Community Arts Grants program aims to support local arts projects and activities within the Bronx to allow communities to experience and engage with various forms of art, including performing, literary, media, and visual arts. The key principle is to ensure these projects are community-based and accessible to the public. Funding opportunities are available for local nonprofit organizations and individual artists or collectives (through a Bronx-based fiscal sponsor or community-based nonprofit partnership) with grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. Additionally, the program includes an appeals process for applicants who believe an administrative error affected the fair review of their proposal.
